my slides have a piece of UHMW that the slide runs on... it runs the length of the slide and is attached to the floor.... it has a simple radius on it...... the bottom of my slide has a nylon fabric that runs against that piece of UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) plastic/nylon...
I don't know if your felt is used as a wear surface for the bottom of the slide.. or a seal once the slide is open... if its a wear surface I'd consider replacing it with the UHMW material that's screwed to the floor and would many more times the life of your felt strip..
