Carefully grind these tacks down to separate frame to remove glass, rubber, or felt.1973 Winnebago Indian. *NOTE: the frame is tack welded together from the factory. Do this all the way around and the window and frame should pop out. Once I got a decent gap, I used a scraper tool to pry the frame away from the body. Pic W10: I used a razor to open up the butyl tape that seals the window frame to the outside of the body panel. Pic W9: After that, I went outside and placed blue painters tape around the perimeter of the frame to protect the paint from the tools I used to pry the window out. ![]() Pic W8: Once removed, I measured where the frame sat in the hole so that I could replace it to its original location. Pic W7: First, I went inside the RV and removed the sill plate. I used a method I read on here to remove the window (cant remember who posted it?). How did your slider work with fabricated seal? How about any water issue concerns ?ĭo you have side view of fabricated rubber seal? I have this same issue with finding that outdated seal. Pic W18: Stationary rubber from WBP installed. Pic W17: Slider rubber from glass shop installed. Pic W14 & W16: Rubber installed by glass shop for the slider portion of the window. If you are fixing your window and need this rubber I suggest you visit a reputable glass shop and they should be able to improvise something for you. I have no part number, manufacturer, or price for this material. I asked if I could buy it for future repairs and the owner said "just come by when you need more and I'll hook you up". They used different rubber and cut it in half to fit. A few days later I picked up my glass and they showed me their fix to the issue. They said they had a solution and not to worry. The next day, the glass shop called and said the slider rubber was wrong and would not fit properly (BIG SURPRISE!). I dropped off all of the rubber I ordered from WBP, my window frame, and the new glass the previous shop cut for me. Since the gardener said he would pay for the repair, I decided to let the professionals deal with installing the rubber since I couldnt seem to get it to fit right (ref. They made the glass but I had to go pick up all of my materials and take it to a different glass shop. The first glass shop (suggested to me by a buddy) I took it too turned out to be a nightmare. ![]() Since the glass was broken I had to take it to a local shop to have the glass remade. ![]() Notice abnormal appearance when in the channel. Pic W6a: WRONG rubber test-installed into window frame. Per my window guy, this prevented the window from sliding. Pic W5a: This is the rubber from WBP that is WRONG. Part: Seal - Exterior Glass To Frame, Slider Glass This next part is WRONG WRONG WRONG from WBP. Price: $1.75/ft, minimum of 25ft required for order Part: Channel Weather Strip W/fuzz for 1/8" Glass Part: Glazing - Window - Black - 1/8" Stationary Glass (WBP terminology) That is because this rubber is WRONG! I will address this later in the thread. As you can see in the pictures W5 and W6 the black replacement rubber from WBP looks much different than the rubber in the picture W3 from my previous post. There was some confusion as to what was required and after much searching, I found (WBP) had what I needed (or so I thought). Winnebago offers 3 items here: the stationary glass rubber, slider rubber, and slider felt.
