Brian: Its called sealing strip & Tape you can get from defender marine outfitters? just I note I did use the beckson plastic channel. I got tired of the mold and rot from the SS track. The double channel plastic a little harder to install. Need drill press and you have to make a fixture to drill & Counterbore for the screws. I have no fear that the windows will fall out and they slide way easier. I own a 42 conv. I posted some pictures of the fixture and the way it looks when done. I used black. Here in florida we get a lot of rain and no LEAKS. GP
