Re: [SilverStreak] Leaks & Weatherstrip

["Ralph Cooke" <rcooke78@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mitch,

Vintage Trailer Supply also has some weather stripping listed for early
Airstream's.  Your door may be a bit like mine and does not fit as tightly
as it once did, so you may need to put a 1/4" flat weather striping on it,
then add the 9/16" weather stripping from V.T.S. on top of it.  This may be
especially true on the door latch side of the door, and the top of the
door.  Camping World also has a D shaped weather stripping that is 1/2" by
1/2" in rolls for about $35-$40 per roll.  One roll will do the main door.
Worst case you can put one layer on the door and the second layer on the
trailer where the door contacts the trailer body.
