Window felt

[reluctantartist]

Will the beetle window felt channels work in the 412 estate. I noticed there are one window channels which might be lone enough.

Oddly enough......I dont know. I have never gotten to the point of replacing mine.
I have had the felt inserts out....the metal rim with the felt in it......for painting before. Its kind of tricky getting it out. Just be patient.
From what I remember it should not be too hard to put new felt in the original trim ring.
Let us know what you discover.

i have change the old felt with the felt for home sliding window felt,with an super glue,, on the metal,, that work fine,,,

I am planning to do that for the scrapers but i am getting the beetle felt channel to see if it will work as my felt channels are worn and not sealing well.

hi,, you can do an oder thing,, change the right side inner felt for outside driver felt,,if it is betther,,they are the same,,

Well the beetle channels will not work. I should have taken a closer look at the 412 channels. They are unique. They do not have a felt insert like most channels. I saw on a hotrod forum that people use velcro loop for this. So that will be my next thing to investigate.

Take a look at the Auveco website first and see if they have anything useful.
