Does anyone have a source suggestion for the replacement "fuzzy" seal material that goes in the channel around the inside of the service access door on the front of a 1970's coach? The channel is about 1/8" wide and the "fuzzy" seal material is about 3/8" tall, to (kind of) seal out the elements, and probably reduce rattling...

I think your windows are like mine... single pane sliders, rattle and leak. Do a search for "Hehr" windows. Let us know what's available!

If you'll take about a 12 inch piece of electrical tape and put it on the edge of the glass, then close, that cuts out most of the rattling...worked great on mine...cheaper than new windows and easier than replacing the felt...

I'm talking about the seal attached to the perimeter of this access door...

I don't have the answer, mine fits so tight we have to force it shut.

Your ride is outstanding, hope you will bring it to a GTG near you.

Homey and Lowes both carry a bunch of different weather stripping materials. I'd find one in the shape and material you need. The wide ones also work under the doghouse to help seal out noise.

I got a 100" roll of seal material and installed it last weekend to the front access door. If anyone with an old Barth would like to do the same, just send me your address and I will send enough to do the job. You won't regret it...
