Subject: [VAC] Challenges with windows
Hello Everyone,
I'm stuck but my windows are not! I had to replace the glass (plexi) in 2
of the windows of my '68 Land Yacht and they won't stay in! When I read the
manual's section for replacing windows it said "8. The bedding tape should
remain adhered to the glass bar and hinge. If the tape is damaged,
replacement tape is available at your dealers service center." There is no
bedding tape and noone around here has even heard of it so...I tried putty
tape but the window won't go all the way in so latches will latch and it
doesn't really hold it in anyway...anyone know where I can get bedding tape
or a facsimile or have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks
Bev
Hi Bev:
I had to replace plexiglass with Lexan in a couple of my windows. I bedded
the Lexan in the hinge extrusion with clear Silicon Sealant. Once cured it
has held very well for several years now. If you do this, make sure you
clean all of the residual stuff out of the groove so you can get a good
bond.
