Subject:      Sliding window refurbish
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Dear listmembers,
the sliding windows on my 83 Westy need work. The
guide pieces have fallen out, the felt seals are
toast,and the frame in the sliding door needs a rust
treatment.
My plan is to take the whole window assembly out, fix
the rust and refurbish the sliding window with new
seals to stop rattles and noise.
Any advice on how to do this (tips and tricks) and
sources for the felt seals are highly welcome. Can the
sliding window be separated from the rest of the
assembly? I could not find out a way to do that. I
also could not figure out how to put the upper rubber
channel / seal for the sliding part back in.
Is there an upgraded, better sliding window assembly
that you can recommed as a replacement?
Thanks
Reinhard
83 "Half-Syncro" Westy, Moose.
