Reply to: RE: [VAC] Re: 63 hehr window molding
As Bob noted below, the window pane retainer is still available from Hehr. A picture
of it can be seen at http://www.vintageairstream.com/myrtle_rest3.html . It's only
about .50 a foot. It fits the Hehr C1200 square flat windows, aka Hallmark 12, made
from roughly 1959 to 1965 depending on the model.
I too am still looking for a good seal for the window to frame seal. The old one was
a 1/4" vinyl bulb seal with a 1/4 flange. The P style EDPM stuff failed miserably,
and some P shaped seal I got from McMasters didn't fit (too thick of flange). It has
to have the T flange to resist both closing and opening pressures. The search
continues.....
