"nope."
icocbw, but the part I think you are seeking is known as "fuzzy schlegel", pictured here - http://www.inlandrv.com/catalog/images/34696.JPG and here - Inland RV Center Inc.
in addition, there are three or four other seals / gaskets / trims used around the motorhome windows that you might also consider.
I'd try Inland RV or ODM RV for help in getting all that you might need.
best,

I'm currently having a heck of a time getting either of the above materials to work. Have used the Inland RV stuff before and it worked great on a '79 29' Excella. It's too thick for our 345 and won't let the window slide or won't seat properly in the back of channel. The same with the beaded window channel material. It's almost as if the window opening shrank having the deteriorated window felt so bad for so long. Yours might be different and I would try the Inland RV channel 1st. I'm looking for thinner material. It's pretty easy if you know how to do it. If you need help let me know.

The current "schlegal channel" from Airstream, is exactly the same as the original.
I would suggest that until the new channel gets a few "miles", that you spray the schlegal with some silicone spray.
That for sure will make the windows slide easier.

1. Window channel seal (Inland RV Schlegal(sp?) probably best choice)
2. Fuzzy window channel (bug seal, hard to find the correct one, still looking)
3. Vertical window seal Odmrv.com #684916
4. Wrap around seal Odmrv.com #685044

Here is a thread on the steps involved in the job:
http://www.airforums.com/forums/f160...ment-9584.html
I did not have to remove the lock on my windows when I did this job, otherwise it went just as described in the thread. I ordered the various replacement parts from Inland, everything worked and they knew what I needed.
However, after doing the job the driver's window would not close all the way. I was not sure that it had ever closed all the way, and was convinced that the window frame needed to be pushed in to fix it. Fortunately, I did not do that. Stopped at the mothership in Jackson Center while in that part of the country, an old time tech tweaked the seal with what he told me was a wooden shim and a hammer, and a half hour later we were on our way with a closed window.

The correct schlegal window fuzzy channel, does not need to be cut on the backside.
It's made to easily bend in the corners.
It's held in place with the 3M super weatherstrip adhesive.

Thanks, you are a huge help. I would also like to replace the sweeps while I have the window apart. Does Inland RV sell them, if so do you know the part number?

The part numbers are not really needed, should you decide to place an order.
We always have all the motorhome gasket materials.

What are you calling "sweeps" ?
How about a photo, or a better description.
What does that part do ? Where is it mounted ?

Sweeps are what they are called on a car. In this case its the Vertical lip Seal.

Andy,
He's still missing what you call "Bug shield." That's the 4th seal needed.
