Now the next question is how to replace the seal in my bunk window.
Most of those used butyl sealant tape which does deteriorate over a span of decades. It's also used on boats and yachts.
There's also marine sealants, for the same purpose, that comes in caulking gun tubes. Personally, I'd use the butyl tape as it has proven to be relatively durable.
For everyone, I have some windows, especially the 'slanted' ones, reclaimed from some early 70's motorhomes. They are complete, with the interior trim ring.
There's also sources for the u-channel seal if you want to refurbish sliding windows. (I don't have bulk sources at hand right now but auto glass shops may have it by the foot.)
