All,

(Also posted on iRV2 forums)

2005 Country Coach 430 Allure 430 - now resident in the UK - and a long way from RV friendly 'shops

I am coming to the end of 'curing' the mistiness in our double glazed window units - I have learned a lot but next time might just ship the RV back to your side of the pond and let a shop do the work (https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irv2.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fwhistling.gif&t=1525616879&sig=krvZAOs4JY.ZIjR9BIoDUg--~D)(https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irv2.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fwhistling.gif&t=1525616879&sig=krvZAOs4JY.ZIjR9BIoDUg--~D)

The coach is fitted with SEGI window units - who have departed this mortal planet

I am in need of a piece of window seal / channel filler / extrusion - the existing piece appears to have 'shrunk' with age and is no longer in keeping with the 'new look' windows according to SWMBO

I have trawled the internet, spoken to more installers, salvage yards, parts suppliers etc on both sides of the pond than I can remember

Some salvage yards have lots of windows - and are keen to sell me one or more, but I only need this piece of rubber extrusion - the shipping associated with a new window is close to what you guys pay for an RV !! (https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irv2.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Feek.gif&t=1525616879&sig=JdAuglvY1By7mcgxbVPFAw--~D)(https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irv2.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Feek.gif&t=1525616879&sig=JdAuglvY1By7mcgxbVPFAw--~D)- it is not an option

If anyone has a salvage yard "around the corner" / is due to visit one for any reason in the near future - and would be happy to make a face to face enquiry on my behalf

would you please contact me off forum in order that I might send you images / dimensions etc and liaise over the telephone in the hope of 'sorting' the problem, keeping the 'boss' happy (https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irv2.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fangel.gif&t=1525616879&sig=xS_v_T4bMcdSHo1K51pPOA--~D)

If you google window and door seals for restoring antique autos There
Is a company that will duplicate any weather or window seal you need
With just a sample of yours

I can submit a sample of the 'offending' extrusion and get someone over here to manufacture me 200 feet - but that is the shortest they will do because of the need to create / costs associated with the unique die

?? Anybody want the spare 160 feet ??

Just hoping someone who might be visiting a salvage yard can 'scrounge' / buy me a length of extrusion out of an old discarded window unit before I pursue this expensive alternative

SeGi glass is still alive and well. They and not real helpful but I bought a drivers window from them
last year. There e-mail is http://se-gi.com/glass.html (http://se-gi.com/glass.html). Which window do you need parts for? We met
a Allure owner from the UK at Country Coach in 2006 who toured the U.S. after purchase for a year
then shipped it home. I wonder if yours is the same coach, he towed a car and also had a motorcycle
mounted on the coach.
Good luck
