Hi,
I am fixing up a '72 Roadrunner and want to clean up and reinstall the windows. Does anyone know what this insert trim around the windows is and where I can get it? It seems to have a separate corner piece. Last owner siliconed all over so i want to clean up and reinstall each leaky window and replace this trim.

Mine looks like this one: www.swvca.com/wpimages/wp8cb91431_05.jpg

Its the black vinyl part around the white metal window.

Much appreciated,
72roadrnnr

Welcome 72 Roadrunner. There are a few companies that sell gaskets. You'll need a profile of the actual gasket if you can get one. If the gaskets are in OK condition, not sure I would replace them if the windows aren't leaking. Sometimes new ones aren't available.

Way too far away. Not sure what gaskets you are talking about. Not even sure those are original/trailer windows.

Hi Friends,

I was convinced that those windows were not original - For a while.

Now I am not so sure.

I did a search on. 72 RR travel trailer.

Scroll down to the year 1972 and you will find two trailers with those similar(?) windows.

Curious.

I know that doesn't answer the OP's question, I was just looking for confirmation that these were original or not.

Cheers,
Rod
