dunno if anyone is interested i did my rear sliding window o9n the 130 as an overhaul.
Mine was rattling all the time and was getting on my tits so had to do something.
Glad i did it i was looking at buying a new one from hobbo...(sorry hobbo) saving me a few bucks.
You have to remove the rear bulkhead headling and the actual headlining itself can be left to drop down.
Drill out the 18 odd rivets and let the window out tub side, using a plain bladed screw driver, undo the 8 set screws and remove the thread bar that they pass through seperate the two halves.
Using a screwdriver remove the remnents of the old felt.
You can order a new felt part mwc7620.
And you can order the seal to the cab as well mwc7652
I did niether i bought some felt from london pride trim company in perth.
1 inch wide but was his thickest he had.
then i used windscreen chaulk to seal it up.
Hope this inspires some others to do the job i spread it over two days.

I couldent find any felt. The rattle was bad enough that I had to do something.
I pulled the old felt out, wacked alll the dust out off it then gave a few hot soapy washes and it came out (nearly) as good new. fed it in from one end under the glass and no rattles in the last 8 months:D

Mate for half the time and agony you remove the old felt. Using Bailey channel spray it with silicon spray and feed channel in windows in situ.
Job time 1/2 hour works a treat.;)

Explain that to me in English??
Are you saying there is a product that makes window channel from silicone whilst the window is in situ?
But does it allow you to still use the window without the pesky rattle ?]
I tell you what i tried having a go with the windows in with the frame out not much fun.
I am chuffed to **** with my new old windows that work and dont rattle with no aircon the through breeze is great
