Window Weather Stripping

Postby Jangocat » May 29th, 2020, 8:59 pm

Hi, I'm looking for information on the fuzzy window weather striping that's between the sliding side windows on our 1975 Carver Santa Cruz. It's mounted on a thin strip of aluminum and slips in to a channel that's pushed on to the end of the window. It closes the gap between the two windows. I've looked at Owen's Prime Line self adhesive which may work. I was going to post some pictures of what I'm looking for except I couldn't figure out how to do it. Jim

There is a thread on here somewhere that has some links. I just bought a roll of stuff that snaps into the groove in the aluminum. I haven't installed it yet, but some others on here have. If I can find the thread I'll update this post.

EDIT: Yep, here is the thread:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4335

The last poster has the info. I bought a roll of it last fall and am just starting to get the courage to try and rip the old stuff out so I can put the new stuff in. I searched around with the info that was posted and bought the roll but I'm not sure if I went through Amazon or direct to the retailer... I looked at both but not sure which way I ended up going.

I tried a MD Marine silicon self adhesive 1/4 inch weatherstrip. Was close but no cigar. I've got a 1/4 inch felt (fuzzy) self adhesive coming. The silicon will allow the windows to slide pass one another but there is a little more resistance than I like. I was able to remove the windows from inside the cabin very easily. I'm very familiar DK Hardware. I just received some aluminum upper and lower sliding door track from them. I'm replacing the sliding doors that went across the back of the transom. They were missing. I had ordered 12' lengths which had to be cut for shipping. I needed 96" and their max cut length was supposedly 95". When I called them with cutting instructions I asked for 96" but would have made 95" work. They cheated and shipped them in 96" length like I needed. I just ordered some of their 1/4" plastic upper track to replace the broken ones for the windows. Jim

No. Looks more like this
CRL Z78295C Zipper Pile Weatherstrip .270" Backing - .250" Pile Height - 100' Roll
I ordered an Owen Corning product that's self adhesive. I need it to go between the windows where they slide pass each other.

Directly under the quick reply box is ....add files....click that.....
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
