The Dyna Ultra is a Sealant that is not always easy to find in stores, Some show it in their online but never have it in stock, you can however get it here ebay.to/2k0YIsL and look further and you can find all colors on Ebay and its NEW not sitting on shelves for months. I order 5 at a time, and contact the seller to make a deal, and they will do that, to get it all shipped for $5
Can I use Lexapro clear instead of what you have?
every homedepot and lowes has it
Link is dead...
You can take the seals off and put in hot water while warm hot to touch stretch them back out , put the tongue grove of the seal in the window and repress them in , might get 1 to 3 year before they shrink again ,
DO not know if you will see this been a long time. Thank you for posting this. We just brought a 1983 burro 13 foot, and the previous owner started to renovate the camper. The windows are more then we could afford new and only one place has them, hugely expensive and that is without shipping. apparently, he tried to remove one window so is missing a few pieces and only a couple of windows have pull away areas, so this is a perfect fix. We are pulling windows out to check seals and fiberglass around them. As one has a small piece of fiberglass missing which we will fix. One window is cracked, all are Plexi glass. So are going to reinstall, seal good, replace the weather type stripping on inside, buffing out aluminum. I would also pay allot to ship; it would be from Washington state to Florida. So am extremely happy you posted this. It is only a few inches in a couple of spots on front window only and a few corners. Thank you, and God Bless you. Peace!
I'm about to do this on a burro myself. How did it work for you?
Thats good stuff ive used it on the bus works wonders no more leaks
Hearing others use this and it working is reassuring!
So those big gaps on the bottom of the seal on the camper windows are not intentional? That’s actually just shrinking?
Brotha John Brotha John!! Thanks for the video Bro.... Tell all hey!! stay in touch .......
Ya’ll be good to. Mr. Handyman himself 👍
So helpful thank you.
Just so you know the link that you provide brings you to an eBay site that does not show the caulking. There’s no place to buy it on that link. So you may want to change the link I will try to find the caulking elsewhere but great video. My camper windows is starting to leak and I needed a fix so I appreciate the time and the help. Fred
Can I use that to completely replace the seal? Mine has pulled out of the corner and is leaking on the straight right side. Thanks
great tip!
I got my Dynaplex at Home Depot, they had a lot so you can pick what you want ….
Thnks for the tips
Great job, thx
Thnks for the tips 👍
rv window was foggy between panesall summer but now that its turned cooler they have cleared. Would this prevent that
Can I forgo using glazing at all and instead just use the silicone?
Thanks god bless
If its white you can use a black permanent marker to color it
Cool!
Prevent that shrinking in the first place. Use a quality protectant like Aerospace 303 to protect from UV damage.
It’s at lowes
Can you explain how to glue the weatherstripping that goes on outside of horsetrailer window? I have product that worked on the back door weatherstripping but I clamped it to stay in place. How would I keep it pressed together on window..just hold it?
Use multiples of small wood blocks, size of domino's or larger and packing tape as needed to hold it in till adhesive is cured. It's easier been flipping the trailer on its sides so gravity does it 😂
I’m curious will the window slide fine after this cures? This is happening on all my sliding windows but want to make sure I don’t accidentally seal them shut for the ones that slide. Do I need to separate the caulk with a razor from the glass after it cures?
The caulk seal is used on the outer part of the window so it doesn't actually end up in the slides that the window travels on.
Would this be good for sealing roofs when mounting solar on them?
No, not recommended for flat use. Depending on your roof material you have much better options for that. Liquid nails rubberized roof patch is about the best for bedding the contact points of solar mounts.
What kind of caulking do you use to put around the window when you put it in the hole do you use the silicone or do you use the tape
I use Dynaflex amzn.to/3djJ5HZ and clean all surfaces with mineral spirits first, Klean Strip is best, amzn.to/3dzmHe5 , Use a rag dampened with mineral spirits to clean up immediately gentle pressure without pressing any mineral spirits into seam, after screws are tightened and you'll have a clean finish.
On my RV window, the rubber between the window and frame is worn out and let's water though (even when window is closed). Do they sell some kind of replacement for that rubber?
Check with pplmotorhomes.com
I did this, then after it dried I touched it and it squished flat like a marshmallow! can I just put more on top?
Be sure to allow full drying, 36 to 48 hours. Then lightly wipe the surface with a paper towel and a little rubbing alcohol then add more where needed smoothing it with your finger as needed. It will settle some but not much. If your FLEX does not do this, check to see if the tube is gone bad or was allowed to freeze at any point.
I bought a used RV window and it has 2 of some kind of plastic pegs on the front. Any idea what these are for? They seem to be broken and I'm not sure if there is a way to get replacements.
Many models that had the awning adapters would have plastic pegs that came out about an inch to support the little legs that went on the awnings.
No it's a silicone that's why it shrinks
If water leaks through that shrinkage gap does it go into the trailer or through the weep holes ?
I am wondering the same.
No, it goes to the frame then runs down into the bottom track where the weep holes will drain it if they are not clogged.
Can I use Lexapro clear instead of that??
Yes but you must do significantly more cleaning and prep with Lex
Can I use this product on the windows without having to remove them?
Yes
Thanks for this. I was just wondering if you could remove the entire old seal and just seal the entire window in with the Dyna Flex? Thanks again.
I'm looking at the round corners and not sure how you do it. Do you just "fill in the gap" from where the seal has pulled away?
OK - I have done the entire seals, works great but you must do some serious cleaning. Use alcohol 70% or higher and tooth brushes from the dollar store!! Allow to dry then carefully you will use carburetor cleaner sprayed onto a soft rag and wipe surface again well at glass and metal points, let dry, then apply the sealant first layer 1/4 to 3/8" bead exactly where groove of metal and glass is, smooth with finger, then in 20 to 30 minutes after its skinned ( temp/humidity may extend time) you will increase bead to almost 1/2" and repeat around the frame to mimic the original seal. Make you a plastic putty knife with the profile you want it to be and don't worry about a film of extra on the glass you can clean it up in 2 days, but keep extra flash over off the metal best you can.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thanks!
All my seals shrunk and are pulling away so every window leaks. 2008 Cherokee TT
Learned from a Zoo Keeper that if your Seals shrink, it's due to lack of Fish.
But, in your case, its the sun.
Im going crazy trying to find and fix all my rv leaks.😫
Me too owners didn't tell me. Now I'm selling can't wait to tent camp again
Can butyl tape be used to seal the roof (where the roof meets the wall)?
Yes, but you will have to remove and clean all the contact stripping that is used at the joint.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 thanks for reply. Should I put caulk on top of the trim? Or butyl tape is usually enough?
Is there no way to just buy the seals? Idc if their 1000$
I have a 1990 chevy g20 van and these are the only things I need to get it 100% completely restored and I'd rather have original seals even though they're trash
Have you looked at Vintage trailer supply?
Hey John
I was wondering .. when you use 12v .. 500watt wind ..
What if you chose a 48v 500watt wind.. and used a MPPT @200v 60A EPever 6415
To go from 48v 500watt to 12v 2000Watt ??? The turbines cost the same but MPPT cost a bit
But the surplus is enormus ..
Why don't you get this Bright idea ..🛎🛎🔔🔔📯📯📣📣♠♠🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰™🔆🔆🔆
Greetings from Denmark🇩🇩🇰🇰
I am going for a 2000watt 96v .using a MPPT to 48v.. i bet this Will kick a.. but..
It would spin easier, produce more daily watts but still only be 500+ watts. OHMS Law! Most who do this do get 25% more total output, in battery storage.
@@JOHNDANIEL1yes you are right maybe + +25% ain't Worth the effort ..
I see IT like a PV at 250watt 32v 8A put direckt at 12v or with a PVM so 12v x 9A 108Watt
With MPPT the 250watt 32v 8A make 12v x 21A = 252watt
Thats over 100% mor .. but i may be wrong .. .. if you chardge you batteries direckt truh the rectifier
500watt ÷ 12 = 41.66A 500watt+25% 625watt or 52A
I think they has changed the link to another brand on alibaba
Brand naem TE
Shtepower.com
IT was the controlbox who gave IT away.
Price still 211 doller without control box
👍
Absolutely do NOT do this! I followed this advice and one month later the Dynaflex Ultra was not cured. The frame of the window is now holding water due to applying a spot of this goop to "hold" in the glazing rubber. All 6 windows I did which took 2 days, were a complete FAIL! I'll be laboring for days to get this Dynaflex out of the frame so can replace the glazing with new. 😔
You are a first out of thousands. RV centers have been using it for 9 years plus. A Cause of this is either caulk that froze prior to use, water trapped in window seal when used, excessive moisture from inside trailer during curing, applied in temps below 45 degrees.
I was in the RV industry repair and inspection shop for 7 years. If there was a little separation of 1/4 or 1/2 inch we would do this lazy man cheat. But for the most part we would take real pride and do it proper. Stupid to pull the window out and do the job cheap. Rip out the old shrunken garbage window moulding -clean as necessary and replace with new moulding.
Problem solved. Looks real not trailer park trash repair. Do it right.
They made five types of window seal mold, when you attempt to order it they want to sell you a 50 ft roll, maybe you want to get in the business of selling cut to fit pieces on eBay and you'll get a lot of money out of it because it's a common problem. For most people $4 tube of useful sealant will stop their problem and it's smarter to stop the problem than it is to look bad.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 I hear you. I don’t do much internet ordering. Our in store RV parts department had moulding on spools and would cut what you needed sold by the foot. Maybe they all still do one would have to call their RV store.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Mr Daniel... Thank you for your video on RV AC maintenance... I got another 4 years out of it..
What seal do you recommend around the windows... I have have proflex RV sealant with success but doesn't last more than a year..
I am contemplating on using the 3m marine sealant in the medium curing option with UV protection
Do you have a better suggestion?
So far I have a 1976 Holiday rambler that was sealed up with flex 230 over 9 years ago, it has not leaked separated or caused a problem. Even using it in the superheated desert West Texas and oil field.
RV supply stores want you to buy an absolutely similar product but with their brand on it for four times the price. Personally I have not found a better item for the price and it works as I show in the video. I would definitely recommend Dap flex 230 in the color of your choice.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Awesome thanks for the tip, cheers
For the love of God, hold the camera steady.
jeez - why not invest in video camera w/ MOTION stabilization?!? Couldn't watch this w/out getting motion sickness.
