Window guide pad replacement?
« on: July 25, 2010 - 01:59:08 AM »
I have window guides that are missing the padding (that horse hair looking thing).  Has anyone successfully made replacement pads or found replacements?  Otherwise I'd have to go buy the whole thing... not that expensive, but an alternative would be nice.

Thanks,

Alan

  I've read that the soft side of velcro makes a good substitute.

Found this to explain it?  Used in clothing instead of zippers or buttons?
