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?

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...
Let us know how you get on....

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
Mr B
