Hi fellow Sprite owners.
Please help me find a method on how to install new plexi glass in the side curtain tracks filled with new felt. Once the felt is put in no space is left to get the glass in. I know about bending the panel to snap it into the frame as I have done so taking the old glass out.
My Sprite is restored from ground up. No fastener got unturned. A four year father son project. Quite rewarding.
Help is sincerely appreciated.

HansW

Welcome, Hans, but you're more likely to get a response to your question if you post in the "Spridget" section.

I think the felt gets slid in afterwards, someone please advise.
