I pulled the seal on one of my windows in hopes of finding a replacement (there are absolutely no identification marks on the window). So far no luck yet. the bottom of the seal has UV damage so for now I'll flip it over so the UV damaged part is at the top. In order to get the seal back in I have to stretch it a bit. Only problem with stretching is that I end up with "too long of a seal" and then it wont work because of that "issue". What's the secret to getting these seals to fit?
Window seal wont go in!

Do you have a photo of the port?
@Dave Groshong at the SBO store helped a friend with a similar problem on his O'Day 28. Dave might be able to help out. Give him a call.

I'll upload a photo of the port and gasket later today. I have a feeling whomever made it is no longer in business since D&R is listing Beckson as a replacement.
WTB or a lead- Oday 25 Hinged Head Port Panes

I don't think those are made any longer, what are the cut-out hole dimensions? Maybe a Gray Enterprise 715 will work?
fits in a 15.5 x 7-9/16 inch hole
Does anyone have any tips for installing the gasket? Lubricant, glue, different technique, etc...
I don't know about yours but on other things I have had success using a soap for a lubricant.
