How to replace window felts?

[Ford blue blood]

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.
