Bob,

If all you are doing is resetting the windows in coach, Think RTV or
butyl tape. If replacing felts contact JimB for replacements and
instructions. Once you have the learning curve down neither is too bad.

Bob,
Butyl Rubber tape only, the only place that I use silicone is underneath the coach on the engine and running gear. Put in right, it will not leak.

BUTYL tape Bob. BUTYL tape. When I replaced my windows last year this is what was recommended by the window folks. Comes in a roll, just lay it on the window edge and install. As you screw down the windows it will ooze out the edge and you scrape it off with a plastic scraper. WORKS GREAT!
