Window Felt/Bumpers
 

If my 35 originally came with bumpers and I want to use felt for a better seal, do I drill small holes around the window openings and garnish molding and use small flat head screws to hold it on? Do I also use the bumpers or is it one or the other?

Thanks much,

Peder

I used felt on my 36 and the small flathead screws to hold them in place. Be sure the screw heads are well below the fuzzy stuff or they will scratch the window glass. No bumpers.

I used small pop rivets on my 35.

You can use small counter sunk screws instead of flat head ones. They will bury them self down in the felt/fuzzy strips so as to not scratch the glass

Try Restoration Specialties in Webner, PA. They have lots of window felt hardware.
