What kind of seal do you use on the stationary side windows on a -73 ?

I can get some for $ 2/feet from a supplier but I was hoping to find something cheaper as I will need 75-80 feet..

Not cheaper than $2 per foot, but is this what you need?

Nope, I have all the felt, I am talking about the thin rubber gasket that is between the glass you can not move and the window frame

There are two different width rubber seals that you can get from Jim bounds. Call him at the gmccoop and he'll take care of you. You're not going to get it anywhere cheaper that I've looked.

Espen,
Last year I ordered the large window rubber for my GMC, that would be
approx half of the required rubber to do the sliding windows. That was
only 33 feet where do you get 75-80 feet of rubber to do your GMC. The
smaller window at the door and kitchen there is no rubber available that
Jim knows of. They remove the old rubber and use RTV to seal in the
window.

I will messure it again just to be on the safe side, but I got 12 meters on each side and that gives 79 feet total..

And it looks like it is the same type of seals used on all the windows, but I will check that to and maybe call to some local shops and see if they have something I can use

I used "CRL Black 5/64" Sealstrip Glass Tape" for the fixed windows. One roll was about twice as much as I needed for our 1973 23' coach. Soapy water helped with getting this back into the channels once the tape is wrapped over the glass edges. (it's not really "tape" since it's not sticky). Trim the rubber tape back after the window is in place.

I also used the usual fuzzy channel stuff others have mentioned for the sliding windows. At the time JimK was out of fuzzy channel, so I got it from vintage trailer supply. Others have mentioned other sources/versions which may fit more tightly, but the stuff I got is holding up OK after 4 years.

When you've got your 73/74 windows apart, make sure you apply RTV or other sealant to the splines that hold them together or it'll still leak. See:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/original-details/p36813-73-74-window-spline-details.html
and
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/original-details/p36815-73-74-window-spline-details.html

The above is only for 73/74 coaches. The window construction changed completely in 75.

In 1975 they changed to Hehr windows.

For our 75 coach, I used Hehr window glazing bead. There may be other versions that would work, but here's what I used: the larger size stuff was h110-953, and the smaller was h110-580.

the originals were special extruded rubber pieces, but of course those were shrunken and brittle on our southwest desert 73. This glass tape was the best solution I was able to find.

Some of my glass are loose and have started to slide inside the frame, the "tape" looks more like plastic than rubber now Rolling Eyes

yes, I recall it's per foot on the prices. They were good about sending samples so I could check the likely candidates in advance
without having to buy a foot of each.

I'd try the Jims first, but if they don't have one or the other as mentioned, these worked for me.

Just call Jim Bounds at the GMCCOOP. He has what you want and knows exactly how much it takes for each window.
