Rubber glazing channel for windows??

[SailingWebGuy]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a supplier for the U shaped rubber glazing channel for catalina ports (besides CatalinaDirect.com)?? CatalinaDirect looks like it has a nice kit but I already have most of what is included in it.

Thanks!

have you contacted them and asked if you could just get the parts that you need?

Have you contacted defender?

What company makes your windows?

Those are just some ideas to try out.

Hey Bad Obsession!

Yeah, they won't split up the kits for me.

What is defender?

I'm not sure who makes the windows...I'm a very new Catalina owner

Thanks!

try calling catalina yachts. they may have a suggestion or two as to the supplier even though they are no longer using the old window/mounting system. you would like to talk to Dave somebody. i can't remember his name, but he's been there a long time and he knows just about all there is to know - assuming he hasn't retired.

I called Catalina and they just referred me to CatalinaDirect. I caved in this morning and just bought the whole kit from CatalinaDirect. I'll have a bunch of extra stuff but maybe I can put it to good use.

Throw the extra stuff on ebay and recover some of your money!

Sell It Here

you can also list the extra stuff right here in the classified section - gear for sale. i've used it to get rid of lots of extra, unwanted, unused boat stuff.

Just an update:

So I received my rebuild kit from CatalinaDirect yesterday. I got one window done. It appears that I have a really nice seal...but we'll see when I actually get it installed on the boat.

It was pretty difficult to do the first window. Took two people and a lot of muscle to get the two pieces of the frame together. It was also a very messy job.

Here's a pic.
