    The flip down tv in our 420 started making some clunking noises as it got close to being shut and after shutting.

    The foam vent window seal on our 420 is worn out and needs replacing. I cant find a part number in the Searay parts manual. Is this foam seal made from a roll or does it come as a singular part? Thanks.
