What did you do to tie down the bottom end of the rear channel when you got it a working? And did you end up doing anything with the top end of the front channel to tie it down? Thanks for and suggestions
Yeah if Blackdiesel had not posted any videos it would have ben a lot harder to figure it out and get to the point where I am. I watched those videos over and over.

To tie down the bottom end of the rear channel I welded one side of the rear lower section of the metal channel at the bottom and the end of the felt channel is held in place by the window and fit's snugly into the metal channel, depending on what type of felt channel you buy. Some people use the widow sealer or black RTV GASKET MAKER on the back side at the lower end of the felt channel where it fits into the metal channel.

The door frame trim holds in the felt up at the top. Again some people slather the inside of the door frame with window sealer to insure the felt stays in place and a good seal from rain I guess. But the screws and clips are all I used. If you don't have the clips check out this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/55-56-57-58-...-/311473491492
