[DeTomaso] How to change window felt strips

[Rob Dumoulin]

I had to detach the window glass from the regulator and let it drop down to
get to the screws. Not a problem. I drilled tiny holes in the felt where
the screws attach and easily put the new felt in. I just wanted to see if
screws were the stock method.
