Hi guys need some help on how to install the felt or cats hair in the back windows of a 1940 ford sedan. We can't seem to get the back track out of the back windows to install new felt . Do they bolt in or do the slide up like a 1932 ford Tudor. Any help or your info would be great thank you

I think the track drops on to a little hook at the bottom of the steel channel. If the panel is off and the seat is out you can see it from the side. Fronts have a screw in the top of them on the flat of the channel. They can take some muscle to pull them out. Hope this helps.

They're a bitch to pull out sometimes but they do pull out. It's as Babar says.......slide in the new one and you'll see a stamped tab that the end slides into down at bottom on inside fender well.
