1989 34 Sundancer side berth sliding window lower felt track replacement tricks?

[Bruce LaChance]

Hello,
I removed all the old track material and cleaned everything real good. I have the new tracking material in hand which I purchased from Taylor last year. Is there a trick to getting the new track into place or does it simply involve putting the window in place and sliding the new track under the sliding window from the front end and sliding it aft using a lot of soap to make it slippery? Must be an easy trick involved somehow...
Thanks
BRL

Do a search on my username and the thread title 'All Flocked up' and you will see what I did to install that material on the side windows. I used silicone (WD-40) but I suppose you could use soap. It really goes in much easier than the old dried and brittle suff comes out.
