Re: How to replace window felts?
It has been my experience that the felts were glued in the channels. Lots of work but there are replacements out there, not exact duplicates but universal. The felts on a 57 Ranch Wagon were only available in long straight runs. Pulled the old runs out (removed screws holding them) marked the location of the screws with masking tape and a marker. Laid the new in place, used a sharpened awl to find the screw holes.
In other runs I have cleaned the old with a small wire brush, lacquer thinner and a final wipe down with alcohol. Then cut and put in the loop portion of self sticky Velcro. I lay the bottom in first, then both sides. Trim the top edge with a razor right at the stainless trim.
