Just bought a Yalta Weekender 2000 and have found that both windows in the bow are leaking.

Rather than smother the windows with silicone I would prefer to remove the windows and replace the rubber seals as they appear to be quite brittle from the sun.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the rubber? I have looked at Bias and Whitworths with no joy. I'm on the Southern end of the Gold Coast.
Thanks in advance!

G'day

Phone Yalta as they're not too far from you, or a marine windows place, see what they have to offer?

In another life i used to be in the commercial glass and aluminium trade...the rubber will be one used commercially and often domestically right across Oz. Even your local shower screen mob might have a spool identical or close enough that you can purchase some meter-age from a look through the yellow pages will find you lots of places.

When fitting the rubber use a squirt bottle with water/washing detergent and lay it in upon it's self as much as possible.

Thanks for that guys. I will give a couple of local guys a go I have looked up in the Yellow Pages and will post my results here for reference.

Commercial aluminium shop front doors and windows. Domestic window manufacturers eg, Bradnams, G James. etc.;D
