October '81 (#4687, early in the month I think), RTV. No wonder it leaks in heavy Houston rain. The other seals around the fixed window are also problematic.

I guess I'll have to do all new seals, all the way around. --- ksgrimsr <knut.s.grimsrud@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I finished re-installing my refinished toll both > window trim this > weekend.
