I am following this close, my welt is badly worn, I have new ones on hand. I believe you are saying that you can push the welting up and out of the way to get the window into the new welt? Do you do one side and window at a time or both at a time? Do you glue the new welt to the channel? I have the sun shield option, wo I have another piece to deal with. I assume you need to remove the upholstery inside to gain access to the entire channel? I need to replace the rubber at the bottom of the windshield as well, would it be better to just remove the windshield to replace the welt?
