CubCrafters Sliding Window Upgrade Kit

[AZinAK]

I know CubCrafters used to offer a sliding window kit that included all the U channels, felt and vertical stiffeners for the window sheets. Does anyone know if the kit is still offered? I need to replace everything for the sliding windows in my -12 and heard/read nothing but good things about their kit. I will probably call tomorrow and ask but figured I'd see if anyone had any recent info on it.

No recent info, however I used it and like it a lot better that Piper's arrangement.

I would call Vera at Cub Crafters, the old links don't work. http://store.cubcrafters.com/Custom-Felt-Upright-Kit_p_1316.html

Update...I just ordered the U channel window kit, the vertical stiffeners/handles and two windows from CubCrafters. They weren't aware that they weren't active on their site for ordering but think it may have been from when they didn't have stock and the links had been taken down. They should correct that in the near future I'd suspect.

Separate of that, any tips or tricks for removing and replacing the window tracks?

Remove the wing root fairing or look up the top channel and find the #4 PK screws holding it in place. The other 3 are just just wedged in. I use a radiator hose removal pick to get them out. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Lisl...-FX9Q3k1Gaa2myVGg0ej6_9e4_ns0Q_hoCsWkQAvD_BwE
