The original cab area sliders were in poor shape. The old window felt has a steel core that rusts and binds the sliders. In addition, they leak. When the coach was picked up, only the driverside worked. |
| The center bar on the drivers side came off easily with a wooden beater bar. The passenger side was a lot harder. I had to really beat on it before it came loose. Destroyed a good piece of 1x2 but it did come loose before it broke. |  |

It looked like somebody painted the frames with a brush - a really nasty paint job. Got to fix it. Best way to get the old off is sand back down to bare metal. |
| After all the old paint is gone and it's down to the bare metal, everthing gets masked off and ready for the paint. |  |
 | Here is the dead stuff that came out of the sliding windows. I picked up the replacement kit from Jim Bounds' Cooperative Motor Works. The new felt looks a lot better its rubber with felt on it not metal with felt on it. |
| New paint and new rubber - looks a lot better. It works a lot better too. The next rain storm did not get the passenger seat wet. |  |
 | There was enough material in the kit to turn a piece of felt upside down to fill the slot in front of the stationary window |
