hollyrae24 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 All the gaskets on my windows are so old they are more like plastic than rubber. Some of them have dried up so much they have shrunken and the corners have pulled off. So I wanted to replace them. I googled it, they are called wedge gaskets and I can only find them in the UK... So I'm wonder what the best solution for this is? Do I just use silicone all the way around? Its a huge gap and would require lots of silicone. Do you guys have pics of what you have?

jjrbus Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Often referred to as glazing bead. It does not seal the window but locks the glass in the frame. Finding the right shape and size is difficult. Here is one source. http://www.rvwindow.com/RV_Products_List.aspx?CategoryID=197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Dolphino Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ever find out what glaze bead you needed? I have the same as you and I have looked at that rv link from jjrbus but can't seem to figure what one I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyrae24 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I havn't but that link is way helpful. and it narrows it down to 4....I'm pretty certain its KRV08523. I'm going to take my computer and piece of gasket to a local window place and have them measure the gasket to see which one is closest. I'm tempted to follow my gut and just order this one. One foot of it and cross my fingers. if its wrong i'm only out like $10.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 They have a sample kit for 4 bucks. They are in Arnold Ca so not far to ship and weighs zilch. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
