WINDOW SEAL REPAIR in My WINNEBAGO or ANY RV

[@padamczak]

We have the same RV just year 2022. I watch and rewatch your videos frequently. It's incredibly helpful that you take the time to share, in detail, what you figure out and do. I am so grateful to you! I'm working up the courage to attemp more of your ideas.

If you have any questions, you can email me any time. Thanks for watching.

Me, too! ☺

Thanks very much for your super videos. Several of your recent ones have been particularly useful for my 2020 Navion V. Your DIY installments should be a Primer for any Winnebago View/Navion owners.

Thanks for watching and comment.

Litterally skipped the only important part…. Actually installing it….

[@rvlifediy]

Not sure most people like seeing the boring details. In this case, there is no technique on installing it. You just push the trim in. If you can remove it, you will be able to install it. The most critical is getting an exact match on the trim.

Are u replacing this because it leaking from outside in? I have same problem and just hosing it with water i noticed it going in and those weep hole cannot drain water out fast enough

[@rvlifediy]

Yes water gets in if the seal shrinks or it's not installed correctly.

I watch and appreciate all your videos. Do you have a Truma water heater? If so had you have to replace door or fix where straps attached. Th ks

[@rvlifediy]

Thank you. Yes I have the Truma water heater. I bent the metal lock flat bar out so it creates more friction when you twist the plastic handle. I noticed from day one that the plastic handle opened too easily and by bending the flat bar, the tight friction fixed the problem. I didn't document many items as l wasn't ever planning on making videos. Next time I plan on documenting better so it can help out others.

Seriously dude, I have never done this type of repair and you think the boring part is the part I'd love to see. Properly inserting the trim into the window frame, how did you handle the curves, etc.? Thanks for showing how to mark the end with a Sharpie. At least you explained about compressing it to allow for shrinkage. That and the info on the sample pack and where to look for the window manufacturer where the only useful information.

[@rvlifediy]

Yeah I don't realize some times what's simple and boring for me may not be the same for others. Installing it is pretty simple. You literally squish it in with your fingers including the curved part. What you can do for practice is pull up part of the end section of your existing trim a couple of inches, and then snap (squish) it back down. You will see how easy it is.
