Width of Felt Channel for Door Glass

Post by BLB27 » Sun Jul 31, 2022 8:45 pm

Are there two sizes of repop felt channels for door glass?? My repop is 5/8" wide. The width of the "channel" into which the felt channel sets is 9/16". I think it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to install the repop.

I was wrong. My retaining channels, for the felt channel, are 5/8". The repop felt channel is 5/8", and therefore, it is very tight fit. I which the repops were 9/16". It would make installation easier. The supplier has told me 9/16 are not available.

Is an adhesive used to bond the felt channel to retainer?
