casita window top/bottom center strip

[lrb945]

don't know the proper terminology for this. it is the seal in the middle of the window that goes from the top of the window to the bottom that allows the glass to slide by it while keeping water out. mine have all shrunk with time so that the windows have a big space at the top that allows water to come in. can i find this material and replace it, or do i have to buy all new windows? help!!

You could probably buy it through Casita or Hehr, but then you'd have to install it. Any RV (and many window shops) can fix it - Casita uses Hehr windows, the biggest name in RV windows, so ordering the seal shouldn't be an issue. RV place would probably have some in stock.

i think it is called a 'sweep seal'. not sure how much luck i will have in replacing it myself, but i have it ordered! if anyone has done this, advice would be most appreciated. thank you!!
