Hey Mac: I strongly recommend against cutting the new window welt to get the windows back in place. It is OK to cut the old one, but you really do not need to. Just push it up and out of the way as you are forcing the window end/edge out of the track. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 2/22/2010 9:37:29 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
mac. have a look here: _http://www.ercoupe.info/?n=Main.SlidingWindows_ (http://www.ercoupe.info/?n=Main.SlidingWindows) You need to pull the window a feet or two through the opening that it can be removed from the other channel. I hope you meant the sliding windows when you are speaking of the sliding canopy.

A matching slit on the rear frame would have helped (Mike at Skyport says there is such an arrangement on one of the Coupes there). I would appreciate advice on how to remove the plastic canopy to replace the welt. I have considered removing the alumnium panels covering the base of the panels by drilling out the rivets and later replacing them with self-taping screws but I'm not sure that would help.
