>Chris, you said your window rattles when down. I'm willing to bet that
>your window rattle is from the material on the inside of the rear channel,
>or the lack thereof. It was a piece of fabric that at one time hung on the
>inside and has most certainly disintegrated and fallen down, leaving the
>bare metal channel to rattle with the side glass when it is rolled down.
>Even if the front one is worn, I do not believe it will result in much of a
>rattle.

>SS and others sell it. The VB one is on par with their other stuff. The
>VB one seemed neat because it was a strip of felt with sticky already on
>the back. However, I found trying to get it into the channel close to
>impossible. I do not believe the original was glued in, but only attached
>at the top and bottom. However, I glued in my SS one along the outside
>edges only, being very careful to get the fabric all the way back and into
>the corners. I did not want the "cup" of the fabric to effectively narrow
>the size of the channel. If this does not make sense, let me know and I
>will go into more detail.
