TRAVELLER WINDOW RAILS

[GELLIAURANDI]

Hi ! My window rails are looking a bit sad. Do you call them "rails" ? They need replacing. Is it a big job ? I have read that the drain holes should always be kept open ? Any advice as to procedure would be gratefully received.
Diolch / Thank you.

Hi Gellia,
they are called "window channels" and are available from Morris Minor parts suppliers. They come in a roll.

The old channels might be difficult to remove, then again if they are rusty they might just pull off in parts!

I recently fitted a set to the new wood on my traveller (it now looks like a car again!) and they are screwed into place into the wood. Drill through the drain holes in the wood through the channel to provide a drain hole for water. Don;t make my mistake and fit the glass, then have to drill the holes with the glass in place!!

Thank you Chicken John for the swift reply. I'll get straight to it ! Best wishes, Andi.
