1976 Tradewind window

Hello all:

Its bubble window time. YEAH...they are the biggest eyesore ever... YUCK.

And i cannot wait to get started...

But first...i need to re.insulate the door and windows...

I am thinking something more than stock... Anything at the hardware store?

Adhesive ideas?

Are you referring to the gaskets (seal) around the window frame?
NO! On the foam stuff. The correct shape of the seal is important.

I don't believe you will find the correct material in a hardware store.
Contact VTS: Vintage Trailer Supply
ODM: Out of Doors Mart
Inland RV
They will steer you in the right direction.
