Sliding window overhaul and tint

Post by **Cruz** » 11 Oct 2008, 07:59

the felt in the sliding window channels are shot, the channels are all full of crap, plus I want to tint the windows.

Is it possible to remove the glass from the frames or are they fixed units?

I have exactly the same problem, I'd love to know the answer too

Please let it be a simple (and easy) solution!

When mine was out i spotted 4 flat screw heads that i imagine keep the whole frame together.

They werent coming out easily - so i didnt bother...

Hi

I was looking to replace the felt type runners in my none VW side window and used a company at www.sealsdirect.co.uk who were very helpful and sent samples of what they thought I needed and a catalogue of the other stuff they sell

My window is a black alloy type and comes apart with 4 screws (2 each side) accessed when the frame is removed from the seal

Hope this helps
