How do you change the rbber seal that holds the glass in?

Mine is really dry rotted but does not leak.

Is there a secret trick?

Thanks !

You have to seperate the top of the frame from the bottom. Pull the glass out, take off the old seal & put in the new one. Reverse all this to put it in.
Have fun!

Mike Basso is a great guy and totally honest. His Lexan window resto is the best price available. You should contact him directly at MPB181@aol.com You will not regret getting to know him. He is one of the truly awesome Thing parts providers. K-mann

Thanks for the feedback on the windows.
I met Mike a fewtimes at the Asheville show and he was a pleasant person to chat with.

I'm probably going to go with his windows.
