57 Dinette Windows Deluxe 1900

[Atomic Addiction]

Vikx-

This is a window focused question so I tossed it over here in the Window section...

As far as your question... I may have a few on my card that I can try to pull up. I will post them if I can in the next few days. If not I will take some for you.

I think you are suppose to set the glass in a bead of vulkum and or putty tape. The outer rubber seal isn't the best to keep the water out by itself.

I used the gasket that VTS sells:

as well as the aluminum colored silicone:

I put the silicone between the glass and the gasket. Then used 3/4" wide strips of 1/4" Birch plywood stapled into the framing to hold the glass in. I put a lot pressure towards the glass before stapling the ply strips in place. Let it dry, then trimmed off the silicone that squeezed out with a razor blade and a steady hand.

This has lasted one heavy winter rainy season with no leaks and no window drip caps to protect it. I can't say it won't leak next year, at least not yet.

I can take and send pics if needed. Let me know.
