Re: The Tiki Sea 10

Bought rubber from Precision Replacement... worked fine for the 3/16" replacement glass, did not like the 1/4" glass. I Ended up wanting to use 1/4" green glass, had a piece cut locally (due to wanting all glass be the same shade of green) and bought a "Trim-Lok" piece of window rubber for 1/4" glass and 1/8" sheet metal from glass supplier/cutter. The picture shows the older glass with rubber, will post updated when fit the new... the old glass was installed to double check the clearance between rubber and glass - .22" to .25"

The window rubber, it seems, is nothing unique... appears to be the universal two piece locking rubber that can be found at most auto glass suppliers. Your results might vary... my experience

EDIT: The Precision rubber looks like it is sized for 1/4" as well. The window opening still needed 'massaging' when initially installed. That said, it just looks like the ordinary 'universal' two piece strip. The bigger issue is the glass... ended up buying the back glass 3 times... the quality of the cut and polishing are hit/miss.
