TR4/4A Need FELT for window channel

[Scotsman]

Does anyone know where i can get felt for the window channels of my TR4A? The Moss moss part # is 803-275, but they no longer carry it. Alternatively is there a simple substitute?
The original felt has disintegrated and the channels are scratching the glass. I have seen some rubber channel inserts but they were too thick.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

You can use the fuzzy side of a Velcro adhesive strip. You can pick up rolls at Home Depot, fabric stores etc....

Or you can replace the whole piece that includes the felt and metal brace. They are a nice upgrade for worn out parts. Available at TRF and I would suspect at Moss as well.

That's what I did. You can see it in my resto thread on p.28:

Tush,
Great tip reg the velcro!! Moss have the complete set up with channels but v pricy if you already have the channels

This probably should be a new thread, but as a follow on to the earlier question, is there a way to remove the scratches on the side windows that the channels made?

Can't help with the scratches, but this might help with the felt.

I can't take credit for it. Linked above is Bobby Ds great site. I believe that Bobby documented it after hearing about it from Francois Faucher from 6-Pack.

I also used the velcro trick on Bobby D's web site. https://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/
Worked well and saved a ton of cash.
