Thread: felt rubber/ removal of window for tinting

On a 2 door I have replaced the window runner felts just by putting the window down, then prising the top of the felt out and pulling hard.

The new felt can be fed down the channel with the window down, then if it will not go any further, put the window up a bit while holding the felt in place, then put the window down while holding the felt to the glass.

To hold it in place in the channel, put some contact cement on the felt and the door frame while the window is open and then push it finally into position.
I haven't tried it on a 4 door but should be similar.Probably better to remove the rubber sealing strip on the top of the door /window opening.

thanks Phil.
where did you find the rubbers?
my usual place have come up dry so far.

If you are talking of the felt lined channel in which the glass slides, it's called Bailey Channel.

Try Scotts Old Auto Rubber Range Rover

or Spectrum Rubber Spectrum Rubber & Panels Pty Ltd and select R -> Range.

I got mine (2 door) from Scotts. Not installed yet....... dunno about Philip A's method but will probably give it a go.

You can correct all manner of sins at the same time with the door trim off, window frame out, window out of frame, etc, etc; like any locking issues, opening issues, etc.

Yeah had thought about that but I don't have any issues with the doors & don't want to create some pulling the windows out.

found a similar design channel that will work at Clarke rubber for $130 for 10m so I'll probably give that a go. the rangie stuff was order in at about $300
