Hi. I am having trouble finding my window gaskets. I contacted Vintage Trailer Gaskets and was told that I have Phillips Generation 1 and Generation 2 windows. He sent me a bunch of samples but nothing fits right. The side gaskets all are too small to stay in the groove. I have looked at a few other sites including vintage trailer supply and although they have Phillips gaskets, the size is wrong for my windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hate the idea of getting this far in my rebuild to scrap my windows!!!!!!!
The options I currently have floating around in my head are:
1) Super glue in some gaskets that don't stay in the track
2) Find some Hehr windows where I can get proper gaskets -->$$$$$$
3) Put in some vintage Holly windows that I have but are larger and do not open.
Can someone let me know what the most crucial gaskets are? Do they all prevent leakage? Seems like the upper gaskets are less important because it appears difficult for water to get in up there. My windows have a built-in eyebrow. Here are some pics for reference:
