Anyone know whos cheapest for new window tracks (felt) not sure what the technical name is. Also is it as basic as it would seem, remove old tracks and install new ones?

Michael,

The proper wording is, "Who's got the window felts that will fit?"

The answer is the closer of Jim B and Jim K. They'll tell you how much you
need and how to install it too.

Michael,

I got mine from Jim Bounds down at the COOP. Don't remember what I paid for
it.

I don't know what you mean when you state "remove old tracks and install new
ones?

Regards,
Rob M.

I just worded it weird. I meant remove old felts in the window tracks, and simply install the new ones.

Michael,

I was shown how to do it by one of JimB's guys, it's not rocket science but
there is a technique.

When you get the felt call whoever you buy it from and they'll walk you
through it.

Regards,
Rob M.

The felt in between the windows can be purchased at Ace hardware, it's
grey. The tracks I purchased at cinnabar, they will tell you 10 sticks
will do it, less actually.will do.

Thats good info for sure. But I'll call JimK, I know if I go to Ace it will be a back and fourth adventure lasting days and never getting the right product! lol
