Hi,
Put my hopes to the fantastic well of knowledge again.

Anyone knows where to find the seal that fits the front window?

Walt,
The material that you need is called bulb seal, it's now black in color and fits into the slot on the aluminum frame, 3/8" in size. I got mine at the local window doctor franchise in Stuart, Florida. The stuff is not cheap, it cost me over $ 160.00 for all 4 windows on my express cruiser, (two windows on express bridge and two forward windows on cabin.) I'll look through my receipts for exactly how much it was. Real easy to install, pull the old stuff out, spray silcon lube into the slot and push new seal in keeping a slight tension so it goes in evenly. It has cut down the leaks 90%, still have to silcon where the glass meets the aluminum frames for complete leak proofing, which is almost impossible with the opening forward windows and the working of the window framing.

Walt,

Hi,
They were great. The fittings are not mounted yet, still minus 5 degree celsius here.
Will put up some photos on my page. Working on a radarmount now.
