Hehr Hall-Mark airstream windows 1961 Safari

Currently restoring windows, posting a few pics along the way.  All the windows where removed from the trailer then glass removed from their frames, all of the old gasket & seal material removed and replaced with materials from Vintage Trailer Supply (don't know what I would do with out them).
It does take some time to remove the old gasket material , goo remover worked very well to soften it up then scraped it out with a small screw driver, also someone used silicone  to seal when some panes where replaced in the past.  One of the challenging parts was putting the plastic glazing/ molding in, it is supposed to snap in place once cut to length after 45 degree cut on the ends. Mine fit a bit too loose, I found a bead of silicone around the channel and clamped it into place for a few hours did the trick, which is recommended by VTS .    Also in pics are rubber window gasket installed and a couple of the windows installed back on the trailer. After this process the trailer will be weather tight and I can proceed to work on installing new wood flooring.
