Window track for older SeaRay (1989)

[AllanS]

Any recommendations on where to find the window track (I think it's vinyl) for my older SeaRay 44 Aft Cabin. Mine is hardened and breaking apart. I've included photos of top and side view. It is 1/2" wide by 5/8" high.

Thanks!

Hmmm, no responses? We’ll, for those interested, I found some window tract at Steele Rubber that seems to fit well. Description says it was used in older Carvers and SeaRays.

We have a 1990 440 Aft Cabin with same issue. What window track did you end up using from Steele?

I ordered the Sliding Window U-channel, Steele Rubber #70-3977-356. It’s not exactly the same as the existing stuff, but the measurements seem same or very close. Mine just arrived yesterday, so I have not tried to install yet.

This the stuff? https://www.dkhardware.com/96-flexi...mond-t-and-red-trucks-8a196-product-2833.html

That might work, but the height isn’t the same as mine. Mine has two ridges on the bottom that add about a 1/4” to the height.

Follow up, the sliding window U-channel I referenced above DID NOT fit. It did fit the channel nicely, but the window track was too high and the window would not slide over it. Too bad...at almost $9.00 a foot, that was an expensive trial.

I got my replacement side window track from Taylor-Made. See Link Below.

Thanks for the tip, Chris. I’m wondering if the window tracks on your boat are the same as mine…which specific track on their website did you get?

 

[Chris Marinello]

I got this one. Perfect fit..If its close you may want to get 1 foot f it before you spend a significant amount.

Thanks, I may give this one a try!

Good Luck with the fit-up. Its not cheap, but its as close to oem that I have found available.
