I have an interior rubber gasket drooping down inside the rear sliding window. I have searched the forum and have found people addressing the outside black window gaskets, but not how to fix the interior one. I am not sure if this is even the right term to use for what I am finding. Does anyone know where to get replacements and who would do that? Do I have to replace it? It does not seem to be leaking. Some years ago there was a post mentioning Pelland Enterprises, https://www.pellandent.com/RV_Products_List.aspx?CategoryID=303. But I am not sure if this is referring to the exterior strip or the one I have shown in my picture below. Appreciate any help
Hi Alphpup; I have a similar aged TK and I'll go check on my gasket to see what is going on there. I can't open my windows very far due to expansion of the track anti rattle (vinyl) strip. (stiiff now). But with cats, the flimsy screens are just slight impediments for them to get out. So only an inch or so to open is ok, and they don't rattle. RonB
Hi Alphpup; Looking at my windows was difficult with the factory valences and the window not opening far. That gasket you are holding might be the rubber seal inside the track that that the moving window half seals against when it is closed. It might have stuck to the window when it was opened, and been pulled out. I'd try pushing it back into place, closing the window to get it back in the track. If the seal does push back in to place, it may stay there.
If not, and that seems to be where it belongs, a little glue to keep the seal in it's slot might work.
So I don't look in there often (if ever?) the black screw heads were all rusty. Hoping that was all from condensation over the years. That back area is where we sleep. I don't think there are any water leaks.

Don't recognize any such inside gasket for the window. The inside vertical edge of the screen has a rubber gasket that seals against the fixed window as you open the screen - could that have slipped off?

It could be the gasket responsible for holding the screen in place, it’s so difficult to get a good look with the valance there. If that is its only purpose then that’s very good, because the screen holds up in place without it. I am just a little worried that it is also preventing leaks coming in from the window, but I can’t see any evidence of that. Thanks for the suggestion, It would save me a lot of money if thats all it is. Gabriella

RonB, I think you are right, It appears there is an exterior gasket and an interior one. I have tried to put it back but no luck. I’m taking it to a shop and may get new gaskets at the same time, seeing as the one there is 25 yrs old. I have had the rear window and also the other side replaced by Nagco a few years back with new glass and gaskets. so they are ok. By the way I called Nagco about it and they said they don’t replace Lazy Daze windows anymore. I will let you know if I can get it done properly with a regular RV glass shop. The problem is also dealing with the valances and the screws for sure. Appreciate your input!
