Windshield rubbers

[stevelou]

Does anyone know where you can get replacement rubbers for the windscreens for a 310 motorhome

They have gone from Out of Stock to NLA from Airstream.
I think we should ALL call and harass AS to make another bunch!

Thank you for the advise. We own a 270 motorhome and have just purchased a 310 motorhome which should arrive in Australia at the end of the month and they both need new rubbers

Okay I've heard from previous post that the rubber moulding for the windshields are NA but could someone tell me under what conditions do these deteriorate to a point that they need replacing?

What steps should I take to better take care of the ones I have? My windshields were replaced at one time I think as they are tinted and have a very good sunscreen across the top but I don't know if the rubber mouldings were replaced at the same time.

Thanks for any info in advance
Cheers

Here's a good thread on using a sealant to save the old moldings:

This windshield gasket IS available. I have recently replaced mine on our '82 310. I would be happy to find the info on request. Pete

Pete,

I would like the info and did you do it yourself or have someone do it?

Hi Dave, I did not attempt to do it myself. It was a very involved insurance claim & was handled by State Farm. The installer was a local automotive glass Co in Chattanooga & they contracted to do the work indoors at Camping World (it was cold).
I haven't located my paperwork yet but the glass/gasket came from Coach Glass -- 800-714-7171.
I think the gasket, which included the center strip was around $150.
It fit good & with 2 new windshields it looks great. Pete

I have a near new drivers side glass available. But that's another story.
