No need to buy new channels. The easiest way to fix this problem is
documented here (http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/WindowChannel.htm) and all
you'll need is some heavy duty Velcro. It's an inexpensive way to fix the
problem that will last a long long time. Dozens of guys in the 6-Pack Forum
have used this technique with great results.

Subject: [TR] TR4/4A/6 Door Window Glass Channel Felt
Hello,
I'm preparing to refit the windows and mechanisms to my TR4A doors. The
felt/rubber inserted in the front and rear vertical glass channels is
disintegrating. I've searched all the major suppliers and most all want to
supply a complete new channel for ~$80 each. $300+ for all four channels
when all I need is the felt seems a bit excessive. Looking at old catalogs
there seems to be listings for just the felt, but I can't find a current
listing. Rimmer Bros has a vague listing that might be just the felt, but
its not clear.
Has anyone successfully replaced just the felt with any success? Is so,
source and part number, please?
Thanks, Ben.......
