Window seal repair
So I just noticed the window seal for the kitchen window is not in place on the corner…what’s the best way to seat it properly?

I use soapy water and a plastic windshield tool. Odds are it is shrinking and will happen again. That isn’t the “seal” it’s just an insert molding.

It’s not just cosmetic, the pressure applied by the rubber seal is what holds the glass in place. If it falls out completely the glass will also, if it fallows standard vehicle glass similarly installled

bigdave_185, Chuck is a professional rv tech. I had this issue on my old 2002 and completely removed that trim and the window can't fall out. It is cosmetic and sits in a channel and as it ages, will pull out of the channel. Mine had pieces missing (wasn't all the way around) and gaps and I replaced the stuff. I found it a pain in the butt but mine looked so bad I kind of felt it needed to be done.

I’ll go take a picture of my trailer window and see what ya think, the one I just purchased it’s falling out all around also and I can see the glass edge.

Fair enough. Any tips besides a plastic body clip tool and some soapy water? Probably better results when there isn’t frost on my trailer lol
