Hehr Windows??

So I am looking to get parts together for the winter work on the C class we recently bought. Want to go trough and just get the little stuff up to date. I am having trouble finding info on the Hehr windows. Called a few places and either they had no idea or had no idea then hung up the phone :(. I am want to get the seals for the glass that should be easy enough they all seem different profiles but should be able to compare with catalog. But the problem is I have no idea what seals the windows to the body of the RV?? Is just a sealant or a rubber seal?

Thanks
Josh
  • X2 on hehr window link above. Their web site is hard to get around and to find what you want. But everything is there. Everyone of those little tiny numbers on your window mean something. Tint, style,radius etc. If you get stuck I've had some experience with mine. You use the word "seals" that means different things to different people IMO. RV "window" mechanics are hard to find. And most RV dealers call a guy that serves many dealers and they just add the price onto your bill. There are also some youtube vids on window "trim" or vinyl insert. My front cabover window is a vet of 7 times I had it in and out because of one reason or another. Go slow and take your time. There to expensive not to.
  • I removed the ones on my rv and redid them using proflex sealer instead of the old rubber seals
  • Nope none are fogged. just the aluminum to the rv body I figure its got some age and someone has gone at it with clear silicone. The rubber seal that is like weather striping on the outside of the window looks to hold the glass in just looks crummy and weather cracked.

  • My '06 Tiger CX has Hehr windows, some in the fiberglass roof and some in the aluminum body. They definitely have a rubber gasket between the frame and whatever it's in. I don't know if there's also a sealer or not. They've been pretty leak-free so far, tho' the gaskets are the source of some of the grey streaks on the sides.

    X2- and do make sure to get real butyl rubber! Grey is most commonly used on RV's- black will stain gelcoats/other finishes.
  • Great thanks. I figured something like that. Guess I will try normal for once :).

  • Not sure what parts you need. This place has many.
