This black gasket is used on Hehr Standard windows and on many 1950s and 1960s baggage compartments.

On windows, it fits around the part of the window frame that is riveted or screwed to the trailer wall (known as the backframe). Click on "MORE PHOTOS" to see where it is installed.

The gasket's flap is compressed between the window frame and the trailer skin. For that reason, installation of this gasket requires removing the entire window frame from the trailer wall. The D-shape bulb is the cushion against which the front frame of the window closes. This creates a good water and air seal.

This gasket was used on the Hehr Standard windows used by Airstream (1952-58... and sometimes as late as 1960) and many other trailer manufacturers in the late 1940s through the early 1970s. It is also used on some utility doors on vintage trailers. It is a replica of original Hehr part number 009-101.

Because our gasket is made of silicone, it will not crack and shrink like the original.

Requires adhesive to apply. For adhesive, we recommend black or clear silicone RTV or 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. Both will work well but we've found silicone to be easier to work with. In general, silicone RTV makes an excellent adhesive for all our silicone rubber gaskets. Caution: do not allow excess adhesive to dry where you don't want it!
