Ralph,

Seems like No One answered your question, other than to offer
lubrication tips ?

I recently completely disassembled my sliding windows and rebuilt them,
as well as had the glass tinted while they were taken apart.

**Note they were removed from the car while doing a paint job.

The felt strip material as well as the plastic stops ARE available, and
even though Gowesty indicates the top and rear edge rubber seal is NOT I
thought I saw it available at VanCafe ?

In any event it is a fair amount of work BUT doable, if you are patient
and careful.

I'm happy to offer any tips IF you decide to tackle it BUT I'm pretty
sure that unless you remove the windows altogether it is likely not
possible ( OR if it is it will be tricky) to remove the sliding window
and get to the felt strips.
