How many of us Caddy owners are unable to open the rear slider canopy windows because the channel run has degraded to a point where they just don't slide anymore?
Well keep reading, I found a solution after a couple of buy and returns.
This product http://www.steelerubber.com/unbeaded-rubber-channel-96-70-3575-58 is just a little wide at the bottom as we need the width to be 3/8" and 1/2" high. I tried to pack the full original product in and is didn't allow the windows to slide very well at all. So I took a pair of sharp scissors to it and trimmed those little ridges off the bottom to make it 3/8 of an inch. It packs nice and flat to the window channel and doesn't compress the opening width.
I can't say for sure that it works because I was handling the slider part to get it back into the frame and it shattered into a zillion pieces. So now I am sourcing a new piece of glass. So Close to finishing too.
Hope this can be used by some of us Caddy owners.
