Re: 3607 Aft Cabin Sliding Window Felt Channel
You need a pair of good needle-nosed pliers to pull the old stuff out. Mine came out mostly intact but one of them broke a few times as I pulled a little too hard. Cleaning out the channel after they are out requires a stiff brush with bristles that are at least 2" long. There is also a plastic spine under the window that you can pull out to clean or replace. It snaps in place. I'd like to find a source for that, as it would be nice to replace a couple sections have been worn down.
Putting the new stuff in is much quicker than I thought. Using even smaller needle-nosed pliers, you can get the bottom edge of the new pile in the track and snap the top in place. work 3-4 inches at a time, then slide that back past the window. Keep doing that until that side is all complete.
I used to have a problem what when you hosed the windows down hard some water would leak past and into the boat. Doesn't happen with the new pile, which is nice.
I did take some pics of the work and will clean them up and post them here too.
