Windshield rubber for 4104

[JohnVickrey]

Where oh where can I get the windshield rubber for PD4104?  Can I still get new windshields?

Hi John,

I believe it's the same rubber as used for the destination window. I redid my destination window a few months ago, and I got the rubber from a local glass shop. It was nothing special, just a 1/8 & 1/4 inch H type. Look at the 1 piece type available. Much cleaner look than the 2 piece with a separate lock strip.

John- I think you are referring to this: http://www.trimlok.com/cat/Locking-Gasket/Browse-All-Products_104.aspx

I replaced the locking gaskets on all of the side windows with the one piece locking gasket.  Liberal use of silicone spray lube made pressing the windows in much easier.  The front windows on my Eagle have a much larger, but similar type of locking seal.  I didn't bother to replace the front window seals since they don't leak.... yet.




I don't benefit from Trim-lok sales.. just posting the link to show you what is available.

This is the stuff I used. The bottom goes inside the vehicle. The bus body goes in the left channel, window in the right. The lock strip on top is pushed in flat (silicone is a must) and gives a nice smooth surface.

Yes. That is the same stuff.  No more leaks

I got one for my 5303 about 7 years ago from MCI. I do not remember the details but I think they bought that part of things from GM some years ago. I also needed a windshield but could not find a new one so I had to go junk yard. Be careful replacing the rubber so you do not need new glass.

Is this like the rubber from door seals? I need to replace the rubber on my emergency exits on my 1995 International (Carpenter body)

Zephod- The seal posted above is for window glass.  Can you get a picture of the old door seal and the door frame?  Maybe we can identify it.

McMaster-Carr is good for finding unusual seals.  They usually aren't the cheapest though.

Check eBay once you know what type of seal you need.  I bought my door seal on eBay for less than half of what McMaster wanted.

Edit: I checked some of the pictures on your blog.  The window glass has a bead lock seal like was posted above.  I couldn't make out the door seal. It looks like the top 6 inches came unglued from the door frame.  If the door seal is still in one piece, it could probably be glued back in place with some high strength adhesive, like Sikaflex 252.
