Sliding side indows (1 Viewer)

Not sure if this a particular Hymer problem or general to all A class.

The sliding window on our B544 runs in a rubber/felt type channel, in the rain this gets wet as the rain runs don the window and seeps into the channel. This doesn't seem to be a problem as there are drain points.
The problem I'm having is the channel dries out and then get dragged by the window when I slide it open, I can pull it back but it's getter out of shape bit by bit.

Any suggestions ?

PTFE spray, so the gasket it does not stick to the slider.

Replace it the felt is wearing out and the glass sticks to the rubber. Common problem on early Minis look on ebay for replacement.

We had a similar problem, silicon spray has solved it for now until I have the time/inclination to replace it!

I expect the rubber has hardened with age best to replace, as others have said silicon spay will give temporary relief.

Thanks all. will look for a replacement.

Does the window lift out ?

ive got similar problems on my burstner but i can see no way to change the felt runners as they appear to be cast in place when the window is made
