Gary,
The fixed window is secured by bending in the outside lip of the frame in
several places (two on top, two on the front edge and three along the bottom?).
The Perspex is 1/8" thick. The fixed-window channel is just a bit wider than
that. So bending in the lip keeps it from rattling.
Yes the felt forms a 'U' in the inner channel (which is 1/4" wide). It goes on
all four sections (top, bottom, front and rear) of the channel.
The Moss buffer for the rear mounting bracket works. I believe the same buffer
is used for the lower trunk lip. The buffer that goes on the top front corner
of
the side curtain frame is different.
