Subject:Re: Replacing roll up window scrapers & channels

Stuart - there's no pop rivets for these felt channels but the front one
requires some dis-assembly if I recall correctly.  The scrapers pull
straight up but beware the clips that hold them in, if they fall out they
will go straight to the bottom of the door cavity (ask me how I know).  Can
be retrieved, though!
