Rattling rear sliding windows

[stu bear]

Does anyone know how to remove the rear sliding windows from a 300 tdi wagon? My windows rattle really badly as the felt packing is so squashed that the windows threaten to fall out. I really need to replace the packing, anyone done this before?

I have the same problem in my 2000 td5 Defender, it's on my list of things to do that annoy me alot.

Haven't replaced the felt packing but, I've had to replace a busted sliding window and believe me its a right PIA. You have to drill all the rivets out that hold the frame into the body and then spilt the frame to get the glass in/out.

Run a search as I'm sure there was a recent thread about a short cut method of replacing the felt.
