That’d definitely make the winders harder to roll up I think.Looks like the front side of the drivers windowpane is totally outside the felt track. I would say that is likely what is stopping it from gliding all the way up. I suppose it has been that way the whole time I have owned it and I didn't realize. Does anyone have a trick to get the felt on to the outside of the glass? Or, I guess, has this happened to any of you all? @Rustisbest I have put lithium grease on the tracks, rollers and moving parts on the regulator. I need to get something for the felt track. I may be getting the Du Pont chain lube you reccomend or some type of air spray lube I have seen before.You must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attach
I don’t have much experience but when I redid the blue truck and installed new window channel felt I threaded it in down the track with the window mostly down as I recall. I did run the window up n down as I was installing it to be able to get it in. (I never removed the windows or regulators from the truck when I painted it.)
Lots of silicone spray lube was used between the track and felt and the window and felt. I wouldn’t use anything petroleum based. There’s tons of different brand products out there.
Are your window felts old and crusty at all? $60 gets you new felt surrounds and the inside and outside rubber squeegees at the bottom of the window openings. I’d consider replacing if they look anywhere near being original. Mine came out in 69 small pieces even. Yours may not hold up to much pulling and bending etc.
