I was trying to find information on how others have repaired or replaced the gaskets, seals, sliders, glass runs, and flocked areas of their
windows. It seems this is a challenging thing to do as the items are difficult to source. Not to mention, the terms used to describe each part is specific and hard-to-find.
It seems someone made a website for window gaskets that fit! Here it is:

So, I am compiling my research in this thread hopefully people can correct me, provide information or will find it helpful in the future.
Here are all the plastic parts in our
windows along with what I think they are called:
1)
Fuzzy glass channel, flocked glass run
Potential places to CRL there are a wide variety of sizes

and

2)
CRL Glazing Spline and Channel or
Rigid Vynl Uchannel (not sure if that's correct)
Mine is cracked in the picture. As you can see in the first image, it has some slits cut so it can bend around the window. it is the part that the window "sits" in snugly.
The closest product I can find so far is here :

3)
CRL Adhesive Backed Pile Strip
Again, CRL has some

and more

4)
CRL Glass and Acrylic Setting Rubber Channel for 1/4" Material - 7/16" Base Width
5) T weatherstrip with Uchannel (not sure what this is called)
6) Glazing Vynl

Here are the
windows, they are multi-channelled aluminum windows. The glass has long ago been replaced with plexiglass which I'm trying to buff the cloudy-ness out of.
Sadly, the "before" pictures before I took all the stuff out aren't very helpful. But I am hoping to make a video explaining how I put everything together
IF I am able to source the parts...I also don't have the exact measurements of any of the pieces, hopefully, I can update later with them.
Currently located in Canada, so I'm looking for Canadian sellers if its possible. It seems
https://www.crlaurence.ca/ has almost? everything we need and the harder-to-find stuff will be sourced from
https://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/ I'll post more links if I find them.
CRL has an online catalogue with photos here
