I suppose it could be done this way. The biggest concern would be keeping things from getting too messy. Assuming that the rubber portion the felt is adheres to is still snuggly in place on the steel bracket on the door. You could probably hold the front of the felt w/a pair of long needlenose pliers, and use a screwdriver to push the felt against the rubber. But given the hieght of the window sill on the tollbooth windows, you'll have alot of difficulty positioning your hands. Removal of the upper door trim is much easier, and will allow you to do the job thorough enough so that you don't have to worry about doing it a 2nd time. When you remove the upper door trim, you can have access to pull the bracket, and reglue the felt entirely. Also, if the rubber portion has come loose, you can now re-crimp it tighter with your hands to allow it to have a more firm grip on the bracket. To glue, I first attached the rubber to the bracket, and used Krazy Glue gel. It's important to slather it over the entire contact area between the felt and the rubber. But, you cannot have too thick a layer of glue. Too much, and it can bleed thru the felt. I use small metal paper clips to hold everything in place. When I say metal clips though, it's the black, triangular ones with the silver handles. I leave them on for about 10-14 minutes, and everything is good to go. This same method worked quite well in the door trim next to the A pillars. The clips are held on long enough to let the glue set into position, but not too long that they risk marring the surface. To be a little more explicit, the problem with the window felt is a combination between both the glue, and the dropping glass. The felt is as long as the glass @ it's widest point. So when the glass drops below, it loses contact with the front portion on the felt. When it comes back up, it pushes against the glass. In high temperatures, the glue can soften. Thus each time the glass goes up, it moves the felt up a little bit. Until finally, the felt has moved enough that durring the up travel, it can dig under the felt, and seperate it. Once this is done, on the down travel, the glass will actually grip the rubber, and pull it from the steel bracket. And then when the glass goes up and down, it can make contact with the bracket, and will be scratched. So now you can see how the problem snowballs! DMC Houston sells new window felt that overcomes this problem. Their strips are shorter, thus they never loose contact with the glass, and should not allow the glass to dig under the felt to cause a seperation. I would also imagine that they have also improved upon the glue as well to be more resistaint to softening . But you would have to ask them that to know for certain. If you do order the strips from them, you do have the advantage of ordering real Fir-Tree clips at the same time to replace any damaged ones you may encounter durring the process. Real clips are always more stable than the "ghetto" ones that you have to make from cross-overs @ the local auto parts store. I'm not advocating any one particular route to take for you window repairs, just stating two that work.
