Top Tips From This Video
Using a Seal-Tite Foamcore Window Kit you’ll have everything you need to do your own window repairs
Seal-Tite Foamcore requires no trimming, will not sag or ooze and has excellent temperature resistance in both hot and cold climates
The included sealant is easy to apply, yet clears dry to ensure a clean repair
To replace and reseal, remove the screws on the interior of the RV window frame and remove the clamp ring before removing the window
Use two people, one inside and one outside, to remove the window safely
Once the window is removed, remove the old sealant from the window and from the RV itself using the putty knife provided in your kit
Clean your window and the RV exterior with a suitable cleaner such as denatured alcohol
If your unit has a metal exterior, inspect and replace any old staples
Install the new Seal-Tite Foamcore sealant by starting at the bottom where the components weep holes are located – be sure to leave no gaps
Position your roll about 1/8 inch from the window edge and overlap 3/8 of an inch where it meets at the bottom
When reinstalling your window, use two people to reinstall the clamp ring and screws
Finish the process by applying sealant to the top of the window frame and around the upper window radius
Use water and your finger to smooth the seal
