and on some other thread....someone gave some product that they used to clean/lubricate the felt track on the window..... Any answers on that one? |
Pat, I use "Marykate" Liquid Rollers. It's formulated for trailer bunk boards but it works like a charm to lube those window tracks. The last time I coated them was about a year ago and the windows still slide like "buttah."
Otoh, I stopped using it on the rear trailer bunk boards because it works too well! Every time I turned a corner the boat would slide toward the outside of the turn. |

This is an old topic, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. The window gaskets on my 1990 C-Dory 22' cruiser were pretty ugly looking. I tried every cleaner available to me and nothing worked.
I ended up taking out the gaskets. The glass won't fall out as it is held in by an adhesive on the inside. The vinyl gasket was in remarkably good shape, but dirty. I scrubbed it down to remove the surface dirt. The only thing that worked for me was to wet sand the surface that shows when the gasket is installed. I soaked the gasket overnight (not sure this helped, but can't hurt) and then I used a fine wet/dry sandpaper. It took about a half hour per gasket. It removes all the blemishes, but the surface is now a little rougher. This might make it more susceptible to future staining, but we'll see.
When I re-installed the gaskets, everyone of them was about one inch too short. I put the gap at the top of the window.
I think mildew caused the stains. Previous owners had the boat in Alaska and on the coast of California. But, what do I know about mildew? I live in the Southwest Desert. Mildew is some strange condition that other people have to deal with.

I bought a replacement window for my tomcat 24: it was about 800 bucks including shipping (100 bucks).
