RE: Sliding Window Weather Strip Replacement
Ok....The way these windows are installed, you have to remove the wood casing from one or maybe both sides to get the glass and or the track out. I had a glass guy come over this morning to see what could be done. We tried to lift the sliding panel out but the wood trim on the inside is just too high and the fixed panel prevents removing from the outside. Anyway the fuzzy weartherstrip actually looks pretty good so I guess it will have stay in place. Now I have to figure out how to keep water from dripping in over the top of the glass panel. I did note that the panel could be lifted maybe 1/16" to 1/8" inch so I think I will try to put a shim on the track under the panel and force it to the top of the head track. Maybe that will keep the water out. We don't open that window anyway due to the heat...just keep that ole A/C going.
