Sliding window rubber track replacement.

[wbatkiewicz]

I have a 1991 Model 33 aft cabin that requires replacing the sliding window rubber window tracks in the main salon. I have purchased the new rubber tracks from Steele Rubber products but cannot figure out how to remove the windows so I can replace the rubber tacks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you sure they are rubber tracks, and not pile weather striping? Have not seen rubber gaskets in windows that slide. er

Hello, I have a 92 330 aft cabin and would like to do the same job. Check all your window tracks, I think you will find them to be pile weather striping as cooler stated. I’m looking for a way to replace my tracks with no luck. Let me know what you come up with. Thanks Mike.

1992330 - another thread was recently posted regarding the same question. Here is a cut & paste of answer from another poster. "" Try dkhardware.com CRL Z78295C Zipper Pile Weatherstrip .270" Backing - .250" Pile Height - 100' Roll. I just finished rebuilding all the salon windows on a 3807. One inch wide thin plastic scraper will allow
you to push it in. To do all the salon and aft windows I used almost 400 ft. Replacing all. I removed all windows to make the job go easier. If window sliding is tough, insert eplastics.com Slick Strips UHMW Sheet and Tape is a product line that we have been producing for over 25 years. Slick Strips reduce friction on all surfaces. Wherever you need to increase sliding action. We now can move our large salon windows with one finger."" Good luck! er
