Thank you andy for your answer...

Very difficult to choose...

Today, I've received my Butyl tape but I think the gasket isn't good.

1 year ago, I made an oredr for gasket but I've thought it wasn't the good reference...

A picture :



So, I've made a new order... but I think it isn't the good reference (again )

Here a picture :



On left : the old gasket
On the middle : another gasket (looks like the gasket on my first order one year ago)
Ont the right : the gasket I've just received...

I'm lost... I don't know what is the good gasket... can you help me ?

Thank you !

I am not sure that the gasket your going to use will work.

But, you can make it work IF you install Vulkem or sikoflex sealer on the backside of the gasket. That certainly will hold the glass and gasket in place.

I would avoid using Vulkem if possible, to make future repairs easier.
Your glazing looks slightly different than the material I used.

Thank you for your foto, I don't know Vulkem, I'm looking for informations today,

So, here 4 pictures with 4 glazing different and with a .157 glass (4mm) :

The first : original



The second : special glazing from VTS 615RS



The third : glazing VTS 196



The forth : glazing VTS 890



I'm lost about the gaskets...

but the last glazing, for me is false...

I'm so sad, I wished to tow my airstream in June... for holidays

I've successed to change windows in 4mm (.157") with a gasket modified because the original gasket is impossible to find...
