'56 Flying Cloud glass seal

Has anyone bought and used the Hehr glass seal # VST-195 that can be bought from Vintage Trailer Supply? I have a window that likes to leak a little, and I think it's the type of seal that causing it. I bought new seals 4 years ago, they are a different style then the orginal. They look nice, but the seal does not go over the metal lip, as shown on Vintage Trailers web site pictures. The kind I have slips between the metal lip and the glass, looks nice but water can get between the seal and the metal lip. I have had the window out twice now and have sealed the bottom and the rubber seal itself, but it still leaks. This window is a fixed window on the street side, does not open.

Dan, I can't help you on your leak problem. I have a 55 FC and will be interested in what answers you get. I have the shell off of my cloud and that's as far as I've gotten. Could you post a picture of the window you are talking about and the type of seals.
Don

Don, By the time I get home during the week it's dark, so I get them this weekend. I had bought seals 4 years ago from a guy that sold Misc Airstream parts, but the last time I tryed to call him, his home number was disconnected.
