New here so let me know if this has already been answered. I’m replacing the windows on my c and c 24 and I’m having trouble finding the outside replacement seals for the aluminum frame (Glazing?) Does anyone know where I might be able to find them?
Replacement window seals

Taco Marine has a variety of vinyl seal material. I would check out their website.
Go to a local Ships Chandler or boat yard near you and ask to see samples. They often have a box or ring of sample material that you can try and match to your aged piece.
I lucked out and found a Canadian company that makes a product which turned out to be unique to my boat portals, by observing a similar window at a boat show. Look for similar ports on new boats that use a similar seal then call the manufacture.

I have come to call Joe here at the SBO store anytime I can't find a hard-to-find part. He has been fantastic at locating parts for me and SBO's price is always in the right ball park.
I have to financial affiliation with SBO. Just a happy customer.

I found some for my C&C 27 at a hardware store that they used when reglazing storm door windows. Worked perfectly. I also found that drilling a couple of small drain holes on the outside of the aluminum window frame stopped all leaking.
I am hard pressed to recommend the owner of this store; but, if he has what you need and you massage his ego OR better yet deal with another of his staff then your problem maybe solved.

Good luck
I knew what I was getting into when I attempted to purchase a J Prop from him that he had for sale on his website for at least 5 years. Google reviews showed that “Ya either love him or hate him.” After 5 months of frustration, I fall into the latter. On the other hand, a neighbour has had great success sourcing hull parts for his C&C 27.Ouch!
