Replacement vinyl window seal

I took my 87 22' Angler to a glass shop because the seal in center front window is distorting and pulling loose somehow. They called and asked if I could get a new seal from the factory, which I figure is pretty unlikely, but I also figure it's very likely that someone here will have a suggestion! Anybody dealt with this before? My wife wants to cruise to a Ruston Way restaurant for her birthday on the 29th, and we don't need this delay!
Thanks in advance.

I have pulled all of the gaskets on my windows and clean them. Unless its torn or really hard their is not reason to replace it. Just pull it out and clean it and the slot it was in. Then whip it down with armor-all or similar product and replace it. you will end up with a small gap in the seal but I just filled it with silicone or 4500 and let dry. really easy to do. just use a butter knife and some 409 or Windex to push it back in.

Your window may have come from Diamond Seaglaze can also send you replacement rubber moulding as well. I recently purchased some new track from them and they were very helpful.

A good gasket maker can most likely make you a similar gasket--assuming that you have a rubber and gasket maker locally. Pensacola, FL has one.
