how to properly seal Jalousie RV windows
I have 1993 Class A with Hehr Jalousie windows in the back. As you turn the screw on the Jalousie windows, they come down and eventually pull up against the RV. There is a seal between the window pane and the window frame that has weathered and needs replacing. You'd think I could find some sort of reference information about what to replace this with but after days of searching, all I can find is how to use butyl tape around the frame when installing a jalousie window...sigh
I can see its 1/2" wide x 1/8" thick rubberized one sided tape, but it can't possibly be the same stuff I use on a house door, right? I've used this in the RV but its nowhere near hearty enough to use outside, especially through a freezing winter I would think. I tried searching for cars or external RV's with no luck. Any advice would be fantastic!
