Window Glaze options for mid '50s AS

[Lookinghard]

Does anyone have any idea if you can purchase the window glaze for a mid 50's window at a local hardware store? I just purchased a new(old) airstream and it has 4 or 5 broken windows. I was going to run down and get the glass but I have no replacement rubber for the glaze. Airstream Dreams has the exact stuff on their web sight and I might order it from them, I just need to patch things up quickly in case it starts to sprinkle! I was thinking about using RV Putty in a pinch on a temp basis. Any ideas?

Try this link for a very descriptive site on window replacement:

For temporary, why not use plastic electrical tape.

Unless you're going to be driving it anywhere.

If you use tape for the temp. fix, use 3M # 2080 Blue. This will not leave adhesive residue after exposure to sun or moisture.

Order and install the right stuff. You're making more work for yourself. It won't sprinkle until much later in the year.

I plan on ordering the right stuff. My problem was that I park the airstream in the mountains up near Fraizer Park and I was worried about rain and critters. I have a very busy schedule for the next 30 days and I did not want to leave the airstream wide open.

By the way I did come up with a rather good solution. I had a few windows with some old glaze still stuck to the frame. I cut the old glaze into 2" sections and spaced what I had around all 5 windows. Worked great in a pinch! I plan on ordering all new rubber next week!
