Is there a rubber gasket available?

Craftsman,
I used a piece of clear plastic hose/ tubing, IIRC it is 3/8" it takes a piece about 40" long to go all the way around the vista view. The tubing I used actually has a reinforcing mesh in it, I just left it in place as a filler piece. I did have to heat mine slightly to soften it to press in place. Here is a
Link that is similar to what I used. The glass is not going to come completely out of the frame, it kind of moves back and forth in the aluminum frame. One of the curses of our year(s) of trailers
I still can't find my pictures ( think they are on one of my old hard drives). There is a closed cell gasket available from CanAm RV (somewhere in Canada) I tried calling them to order but they never called me back so I went with the tubing.
