😂😂 Your intro, I’ve done that.

THANK YOU!!! I just came inside, because my thumbs were too sore to move anymore. I will try the putty knife method you posted. What a drag of a job this is!

Soak in warm water make it ply able

Uh oh! Don't use WD-40 on rubber! Use silicone lube instead but only if it rubber and don't get it on the silicone caulking seal that goes outside of that. Best way is to dip that rubber into very hot water and soak for 2 mins. Then use a heat gun on rubber just before pushing it in. The rubber softens up and it is much gentler on hands. Good to see what that seal looks like. I have a Class C that needs work. I have to get the right seal for it too.

Sounds good, thank you.

I just installed about 60 feet of this type of rubber on very large RV. Helpful tip just heat it up real good with a heat gun or hair dryer. It makes the rubber maluable and it pops right in. Lubricate with windex, keep your fingers wet and slipery to save your thumbs. It will evaporate fast on the warm rubber, just have plenty on hand. Warm soapy water might work too. Stay away from the WD40 or other lubes, it will limit the life of the rubber.

What does that rubber seal do? Is it protecting sealer underneath? Does it just make the window look better? You call it a seal but is it? My Dutchmen has these around the window and they are very loose.

Thanks god bless

Helped me!! I was trying to see if you had to remove the window or not! I was not trying to remove any more windows 🤣.

Use an insertion tool with warm soapy water?

Thank you! I am very grateful for your video.

Really appreciate the detailed information. I checked off all of your attempts before really searching for a solution so thanks

Can you pl tell me where to find the rubber????

Thank you for the tips. This is exactly what I needed. I loved the POW torture comment at the end 🤣

This is perfect this is our next step for our gmc motorhome eleganza II

DR has discontinued this splitter without telling anyone, they sold out the last they had and now you can't even search for it on their site. They say you will be able to get parts but that remains to be seen. If I had it to do over again I would not buy DR equipment.

Are those new seals ? If you dont mind me asking about where would u look for those at. Any websites or ?

Could you put an extension on the rack to make it reach the additional length?

Sorry for the electric motor noise and bad audio. A comment you may not of heard is that it has an Acme thread rack/pinion and it engages hard on occasion (depending on timing of trigger).

New rubber glazing makes job much easier. I’ve done it myself. Steele seems to make the best. (Avoid Pelland’s outrageous shipping). Stay with soapy water and goes in great. There are 2 sizes of that type of windows seal/glazing. Larger one only by 1/6” or less, but makes a diff. My GMC rv uses both sizes which was confusing. My large size nearly impossible to get in some places, but small sloppy in others. Geeeeez. Last BIG mistake to use WD40 on this project. These seals are rubber. WD40 petroleum based and does not play well with rubber. It will degrade the rubber quickly. Just use soapy water. While you still can take those rubbers out and clean away all that WD40 from frame, glass and rubber. You’ll be glad in a year or so.

Cheers great info

Added Comment - The rubber seals came with the vehicle from the previous owner and were at least 10 years old. So maybe new seals would be softer and easier to put in. I didn't think my supply was very hard, especially on the warmer days.
