I have a 1975 Ford Econoline E250 Camper conversion and am looking for weatherstripping that slides into small slates on my louvered windows, these go on the edge of the windows themselves, which have aluminum channels surrounding the glass. I would also like to replace the anti-rattle clips that insert into the sides of the window trim.

I have attached drawings (with dimensions) of the parts for reference. As this is not a stock part for the vehicle, I have had some difficulty finding replacements. I've cold called so many websites and auto parts/restorer stores and have had no luck. Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The parts you seek re going to come from whoever manufactured the camper-unless you can find generic ones from JC Whitney or a camper supply warehouse,
Good Luck--shouldn't be that hard.

Kurt, probably a dumb question, but have you tried RV parts places?. A lot of the windows like that are made by Hehr and are the same as whats are used in campers. Here's one site that shows some different seals and whatnot. Not sure if they have what you're looking for though.

Thanks for the tips! The company who originally performed the conversion seems to be gone, so I'll start following leads with RV parts suppliers. Generic ones seem to be missing from the face of the Earth which leads me to believe my camper conversion was done by aliens with custom extruded plastic/rubber making abilities. It's the only logical explanation.

I guess I'll just have to dig deeper to find an alternate source. Or build a spaceship...
