The Ford Barn

I'm on a mission to get rid of the rattles in my 1962 Galaxie. Some of them are coming from the quarter windows that are rattling because there's almost nothing left of the window felts.

My question is very ignorant because I haven't done this before and I hesitate to start taking things apart without a plan.

I can roll down the quarter windows and this exposes the chrome run assembly attached to the roof. I think I see screws that hold the run to the roof. The felts are, in turn, attached to the chrome run, but without removing the run, I can't tell how.

How do I replace the felts attached to the run? Is there a kit of window felts that includes these? Does anyone have recommendations for this project?

I'll probably have questions about replacing the other felts too.

I believe there might be an outer weatherstrip between the chrome run and the body. Should I plan on replacing these too?
