    Posted: 26 May 2017 at 8:48am
I have an Amazon supplied 14 X 21 window installed in my 178 door. There is a seal that goes along the bottom from the upper window frame bottom side to side. That seal fits against the bottom window, which opens and closes. The seal basically directs water away from the lower window channel and down the door. Water that does get by is drained thru rectangular drains at outside of lower channel. That seal is gone, lost on the road. The window does not appear to leak, water hits the window and travels into the lower channel and primarily drains out the drains provided in channel. The seal is approximately 5/8" wide, concave, with a arrow type lock on the underside that would fit in the channel to hold it in place. I have exhausted by capabilities to find a supplier for this seal material. I thought one of you might have a seal/weather stripping source, that I can try and find a replacement on. Appreciate anyone's help.

Check Amazon & see if the list the name of the manufacturer or seller. Track them down if you can. I'd half expect a free replacement. Ask if they have advice for keeping it in place.

Just a comment the window that Amazon sells for 156+ comes from Vintage Technologies in MI. They make numerous products, mostly teardrop related. The window is a WD06, they sell it for 82 plus shipping, if you want a window and want to bypass Amazon.

I hope this means you were able to get the gasket. Not all but many Amazon sellers will jump through hoops to avoid a bad review.

:) Yepper. They contacted me back said call them TUE, they would help. Issue they don't make the items there, they market them from there. My guess China. If I have to buy another window I will, concerned that if I get a water leak, delamination, been thru that on a Class C - PITA.
