[A/S] Old Hehr Window Weatherstripping



The 1968 is probably a misprint, as 1964 was the last year for the Hehr Jalousie windows on the Safari - unless it was an aftermarket installation or custom build option from airstream - both of which were possible.  Would love to know the window position and trailer serial # if possible.  As for the bottom seal,  the original gray ribbed vinyl is no longer available per se, but the usual replacement is any vinyl 1/4 inch bulb seal with a 1/4 inch base flange - same stuff used around the '59-'65 Hehr window frames.  It is readily available from glass shops - usually used on shower door frames.  The clear seems common - gray hard to find.  Sometimes you have to trim one side of the flange to get to 1/4 inch.  The side fuzzy strips are also available from glass/door shops, too. (used as metal door weatherstripping).
