I'll be interested in this too. Mine shrink and I have been just pushing them back in, not to difficult on a warm day. Fortunately the rubber is not a part of the seal that keeps the water out, the glass is glued to the frame.

I'd check with the manufacturer, PPL parts in Houston, google some RV suppliers and send out inquiries. Something will come up, I'm sure of it. Best of luck!

For fixed windows, you might also check with your local auto glass shop.

Hi, All I have a 1986 Coachman that I am updating.. New walls inside and re-seating the windows.. I went to the local RV shop and bought a roll of the gray putty tape and replaced the rubber seal with the new putty and no more leaks...Might help you with your windows...

The rubber gasket is called "Glazing"
Different brands of WINDOW manufactures use various types of glazing.
Who Manufactured the actual window & frame in your RV ?
One source for replacement parts Pelland Enterprises
There a thousands of different types of window glazing profiles available you need to find the correct one to ensure a proper seal.

after you re-install the window,, the gray putty is squeezed out and makes the seal, then you take a putty knife and scrape off the excess and then i put a thin bead of silcone all around the window and it works great and you can not see the gray putty.. hope this helps.. you can look on you tube and search for re-seating rv windows and watch it happen...

My advice would be NOT to use the grey putty tape (it dries out and cracks). But use a BUTYL rubber tape (color black).
Also do not use Silicone to run a bead around the window frame, use a product like Proflex RV it is much better than Silicone on the exterior of our RV.
Example of Butyl Tape:
Tapes
250-H Butyl Tape
Permatite® 250-H Butyl Tape
High Cross Linked And Modified Butyl Rubber Compound
Developed for maximum adhesion to most all surfaces, Permatite 250-H Tapes exhibit excellent performance in areas where joint movement, expansion and contraction are present. When specialty sizes are required, Permatite can provide unlimited profiles in extruded tapes. Permatite's extruded tapes are designed to form an air and water tight seal while conforming to irregular surfaces. Ease in application make 250-H extrusions result in instant cost and labor savings.
