86 C10 Window Felt Install

I'm having some difficulty installing the inside window felt on my 86 C10. The outsides went in easily because the clips just push down into the holes, but the insides pull up into the holes. Is there a special tool to do this, or can I just make something? I tried using a piece of clothes hangerbent at the end but it's not working. There's got to be an easier way. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm hoping you don't have to remove the window to do it.

I don't know how else you would get in without removing the window!

Are you talking about the piece that is attached to the door panel? If so, they also hold the door panel to the door shell. Once you remove the door panel (remove all the screws, pop the clips that are into the door and pull the door panel up) replacement will be pretty easy.

I'm interested as well...

and welcome to the board...just one question though....

what happens when you've been here awhile and you're no longer the FNG? are you gonna get a new user name?
and you will be here awhile cuz just like the rest of us, you'll get addicted to this site and all the great people on here and will eat, sleep and live for this forum ....well not quite but close!

WELCOME!!


p.s.... got any pics of your truck?

Thanks for the tip ElGracho. I'll give it a try. As for the user name, I guess I didn't think ahead about it. I guess I could just become Low Truck FOG (Old) or maybe Low Truck FG. I'll try to remember to take some pics of the truck to post.
