Window Frames rebates - felt or slot in channel?
Discussion
Going to be assembling my doors soon. However I could do with close up photos especially of the windows the felt strips. Are they inserted strips like http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-967-window-channel... or are they barer felt laid into the rebates?
The rebates in the main windows are just under 7mm tad over ¼" Woolies Trim don't go down this much, that’s why I think it maybe bear felt in the Runner Rebates.
Close ups of the way the frame is held to door would be very useful as well.
Will ask Woolies for a sample of the channel they supply so can try it - maybe shave it down, as would definately be easier.
Anyone done this?

I used stuff similar to this and cut it to size before impact gluing it into position. Their are different sizes so buy the one that will cover the 3 sides of the section then cut excess off to fit after it is dry.

I got some Flocked Window Rubber, similar to Adrians pic, from http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepar... for my Scimitar.

Surely a this would be better, but not available at Wool...flocked rubber with the correct beading and the right width...

Now why didn't you sell this to me when I was looking around for a solution!!!Adrian@

Jelly. I just tried to replicate the stuff I removed when rebuilding my frames. I would think the flocked rubber would give a better action.
My side windows are polycarb and I have nipped the frames to provide friction so no heavy winder mechanisms etc...possibly not what you are looking for if you are finishing yours to road std.

Because I tried my utmost to get the OE canvas with triple beading made with no success...recently, even combining with a childhood friend who restores the cars at Coventry Museum...and she asked me to stock it so she could buy locally, and the coffee is good at my house.

Will get it std windows initially - just to get it all complete (may change to plexi later)-but not overly worried about carrying a few extra grams / kg (;)).
Your gonna be out on the track this year?
