Glass Windshield and cuddy window weatherstripping

fdheld34 · #1 03-13-2008, 12:31 PM

I am new to this site and just recently purchased a 1971 Seacraft Seafari. I am in the process of a semi restoration..Transom already replaced in 2007 (thank goodness), and I need to locate the window rubber flexible weather stripping (seals) that fit in frame to hold in the windshield and cuddy glass..Any ideas where to locate this item??
Any help would be greatly appreciated

As the previous reply stated,www.americanmarine.com

I got all the weatherstrip for my Tsunami from them.They made the original winshields for these boats,and they know what you need.
Their prices aren't bad.i paid .69 cents a foot for the weatherstrip,and they'll sell you any amount.

Thanks for the help guys.. I called them and will have my weatherstripping/seals in about three days. They were very helpful and did know exactly what I needed.
Thanks again

Did you work with Richard? He was a great help with all of my needs.

I sure did..Richard also knew exactly what I needed..He also told me how to install (not to stretch the rubber due to it shrinking over time). Also, advised to reseat windows with silicon caulk rather than the old black 2 sided strip tape..total for whole windshield and cuddy windows cost me about $55.00 (for black).I just made the $50.00 minimum order..(HOPE I MEASURED RIGHT)including sales tax for FL residents..should get all this Monday//no shipping charge!!.
