Re: [VACList] sealing airstream windows

[Hugheym@xxxxxxx]

Chas,
     I had some windows that leaked at the rivet line around the windows. If 
this is what you are having a problem with, this is how I solved my problem. 
Short of removing the whole window. This seems to be a big job. 

     I used Vulcum.  First of all I cleaned the window frame, and the old 
skin. The process cleaned to old seal as well. The applied masking tape to 
the window frame and the skin of the trailer leaving the old seal material 
exposed. The I applied a thin film of the Vulcum.  Give the Vulcum time to 
seal and then remove the tape for a quick clean up.  If you don't tape the 
area you end up cleaning off the seal you just put down.  I hope this might 
help you.   

     So far I haven't had any new leaks.  I did this last summer.
