Time to replace window gasket??


Johnnie B

Recommended Posts

I've got a 1990 Winnebago Warrior V6 .  With a lot of work and upgrades it's really nice, sound and dependable.  I discovered a drip coming from the bottom screws of the fixed front window above the cab.  I was planning on a new mattress anyway.  I've sealed and resealed the entire gasket (exterior) numerous times and after a few days of wet dewy/foggy mornings I find 3 or 4 tablespoons of water in the containers I have in place to check for leaks.  I'm going to replace the gasket but not sure what type/size gasket to purchase without pulling the window and perhaps waiting days to receive the gasket from online purchase. Any ideas re leak? (The roof etc is tight and sealed) suggestions size, type and best place to purchase the basket

Thank you for your response. I checked page 25 and it appears there are two rubber gaskets inside and out.  I see probably 10 different styles shaped of gaskets online and I was hoping to have replacement on hand before removing the window. The diagram wasn't clear enough for me to determine which gaskets to purchase. I had an honest helpful RV repair shop where I could get suggestions, parts and advice.  They retired and closed shop earlier this year.I have accomplished replacing plumbing, electrical, remodeled interior myself and completely rebuilt rear wall (previous owner backed into ?? And pushed the old ladder through the wall, bathroom and closet).  $100 for parts isn't bad at all when not having to pay $200+ more to have it installed.  If you do find which weatherstrip/gasket(s) it requires I would be grateful. Thanks again

It's a Winnebago so best I can do is a good guess. Winnebago made their own particular things for quite a few things. 

Self sealing weatherstrip Mind you I'm assuming the weatherstrip is vertical and not offset

Ribbon sealer

Good luck

Please just take the window out so you don't spend hundreds on possibly the wrong parts. Some good tape and plastic and you can seal it right up.

Thanks again.  I'll be removing the window this weekend and give an update

HI Johnnie, were you able to complete this repair?  The outside rubber seal on my front windows has rotted, and this replacement is probably next on my repair list.
