Window seals
At some point on these forums I read a way to get window seals stretchet back out. Does anyone remember what the trick was? It seemed you could soak them in somthing.
I have 2 that have shrunk over the past 19yrs, but are in good shape besides that.
If not, who would have replacments?

I had mine out completely to re-seal the glass to the frame ; for a water leak .
Soaking in a bucket of hot water got them back in ; BUT ; shrinkage left an end gap , that I filled with black silicone .
Replacements maybe available at this site .

If you buy new you have to try to not stretch it at all as you install it . Actually try to force as much in as you can as you work your way around. Leave extra and let it relax for a day or two ,try to push more material in before splicing .

Thanks for the info. I think 303 is what someone soaked them in to get them expanded again. I think I will get some and try that before replacing them.

I'd replace them.
I believe the trick was to cut the seal then tuck into the corners and add a new piece, in the void. Being cheap may turn on to be the most expensive.
