hi todd,
so, it sounds like the biggest issue is to get the windows to open so then you can change the window felt. in my case on my 90 the windows operated so then it was just a matter of figuring out how to remove the slider from the frame, then remove and replace the felt, then i also replaced the plastic guide strips, then put the slider back in.
i have removed and replaced all the windows except the driver and passenger front window in my 90. i did not break any of them getting them out and they were single pane windows.
but...it is not for the faint hearted. i wonder if the instructions were just for replacing the felt or to take a pane ot so you could loosen up the slider?
i would try to figure out how to do it with the window in place on the coach if at all possible.
can you take a bunch of pictures and post them? is there any slider window that works in the coach so you can experiment with that one?
maybe matt can comment on if 1/8" safety glass is still available, i am sure he or his son would know.
we are kinda operating in the dark without seeing pictures.
this is one thing i wouldnt rush into or you may regret it.
