Port window seals

Stever00

Where do you buy port window seals and how do you measure for them? Got one in front of drivers seat to cabin. Everytime you open window it takes 10 mins to get the old seal back in. This one is probably getting on the dry side and shrunk.

This may not be the answer but it's a place to start.

Here's a few pictures I've what I got. Problem is seal is old and shrunk. It falls out when window is open. Even if I glued it  it's like a tight rubber band now. Trouble with boats. They are all made with parts from different companies. I dont know company that made the window or seals. Some of you may have bought this type of seal. Guess you buy roll and cut to fit.0

Yes the way I have done it in the past . is there a brand name on it anywhere? You may have to replace the whole window.

That first Ebay link looks like my window. Like I said is has shrunk. I might have to cut it into where the seam was glued in order to be able to glue it back it. I may  start it in one spot glue it and see if  it will stay will I try to get  in..if it has a gap I will fill it in with calking.
I ask that Ebay seller if you buy just gasket. I'll see what he says.

Just found out you cannot get those seals from Rinker. You have to buy the whole window. Seem like they said a new one would run about $ 239.00 for my boat. I did glue the seal back in. Took some doing. Hope it dont pop out when I open window.

That would be how I would use it, having your issue. With a (Do not open sign on it.)

If I'm in that cabin this summer and it gets hot I will be opening it seal or no seal. LOL
