#1 Window Channel Felt FHC

Post by pinza » Sat Jun 05, 2021 10:35 am

Hello all,
Just a quick one -
I have a 3.8 FHC. The channel felt is new for the door from one of the UK “usuals”. It is for the glass to slide inside (front, rear and top).
I’ve searched and cannot find anything to tell me whether side “A” or “B” should be to the outside.
I’ve had a look at my modern car and, although not the same setup, it makes me think that side “A” might be on the inside?
Could anyone please help and let me know what way the felt should be installed ?

Thank you in advance,
Glenn

Hi Glenn

That looks particularly posh
The one I got for my 3.8 from SNG was simply a strip of black felt around 2mm thick and 20mm or so wide.....no pre-shaped profile...and if you look in the SPC on p271 the shape isn’t defined like all the other profiles

Can you speak to the supplier to check...?

Best
Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan,

I just got a response from the supplier.
Side “A” goes to the outside.

Cheers,
Glenn
