My '84 E-28 has three small opening portlights, one over
the hanging locker, one in the head, and one in the
quarterberth. On two out of the three of them I am
either missing the rubber gasket seal or the P.O.
replaced it with pieces of rubber foam. The other
portlight has a nice (I assume original) once piece
rubber seal around the opening but it's starting to
deteriorate. All three of these are leaking.
The profile of the seal (if you cut it and looked at the
end)is a half circle. Does anyone know who made these
ports and if replacement seals are available? If not is
there a source of this so I can cut it myself? I would
assume you'd leave the cut seam at the top to minimize
the chance of water getting in. Any suggestions as to
what adhesive to use to glue it to the frame and
possibly the cut seam to seal it?
