And keep a good supply of spray vinyl or leather lubricant on hand. You will need it to insert the windows back into their tracks. Strictly follow the instructions that come with the welts.
Be sure to check the window sides and metal edges of your sliding windows. If they are broken, bent and/or sharp, they may be the reason your welts are so torn up. Correct the problem before replacing the welts. I just made new windows and installed them with new welts and am most pleased with the results.

I got them from Univair or Skyport and installed them myself. You may want a Priest, Rabbi, and Minister in attendance. To do it right you have to remove the seats in order to get to the very bottom of the window tracks. I used a particular glue approved by my A&P and long strips of cardboard to insert into the welting in order to maintain its shape while the glue dried.

They are pretty difficult to install, and you will need to hire an off-duty Priest to stand by. Wayne Woollard ----- Original Message ----- From: G.

My canopy, slides in a track that is lined with some material, such as a molding of sorts. I am not sure if thats the right word, but maybe you know what I mean. This material is in awfully rough shape....is there a replacement for it, and where do I find it? Thanks for reading this. Gary
