Window felt runners for 1984
#14

Richard I just got the email below from the service guys at Newell. I have ordered the felt, but tell me what you think of his suggested steps and the caution on the windows. I dont have any choice in that my windows do not open right now so this needs to be done. I will call a window place to see if I can have new windows cut to this size and diameter if I do break them. Surely these break and are replaced so i am not sure what he means by "impossible".

Todd,
I want to caution you on this job. We will sell the material but we will not install it on any coach because it very likely you will break a window removing it from the coach. If you break a window the glass is impossible to get. Back in the day when those were built it was 1/8 in glass, but now 1/8 in glass is 3/16 in. When you assemble the glass the window will not slide.

Steps on removal
Remove screws from inside frame and any components to access screw removal.
Remove window from coach the sealer is very good sealer so use caution
Unscrew the frame tab that holds the window frame together (4) per window
Remove glass and felt and all the rubber (grommets) pieces on window
We made a piece of wood to push the felt back in the groove no glue needed, but it would not hurt
Reinstall the glass and back in the coach
I will not have a measurement on how much material you will need
