Parts Help 66 Starcraft Holiday V

[JM4]

I am in the process of restoring a 1966 Holiday V. I am struggling to find the lower windshield gasket. Does anyone have ideas for a replacement that will fit?

Thanks

Most of the guys are using the appropriate width addesive backed weather stripping, for a replacement. It seems to work fine.

How much larger in width would be typical? The local Home Depot doesnt have a great selection of weather stripping. Thier inventory basically consists on a foam weather stripping. This junk will deteriorate in no time. Are there any suggestions on what store; "Big Box or Mom and Pop", other than Home Depot that might have something?

Not finding any windshield lower gasket/ seal at all. They seem to have everything but what I need. Restoring these old boats are sure fun Maybe I should just leave the winshield off. Like an old Jeep

Any other ideas....There has to be something

How about something like this? http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=4113&familyName=Hatch+Cover+Tape

Search around Jamestown. Guaranteed they'll have something that will work. Maybe even email them. Try searching their site for gasket or seal.
