1978 f32 when my cabin windows are slid shut there is still a gap between windows. vertically (between the fixed and the slide window)there isnt any material that is there that would form a seal between the two panes.so any ac or heat or water if sprayed from the aft would come in. the frames/tracks dont appear bent, was there something there sometime or was there always a gap between the windows? also i am missing some white plastic trim on a couple of windows that i know is causing a larger gap where that is missing. but if it was there i still think it would still have a gap. anybody had to find this white plastic trim before? or know what i'm trying to explain about the gap and maybe suggest some type of felt, foam or etc to help seal the windows .

When I had my windows tinted I had to remove a strip on the edge of each and buy a new strip to replace it. It's not solid...it's has an adhesive on one side and little silvery hairs on the other that fill the gap. For the life of me, I can't remember where I bought the stuff though...perhaps just West Marine or the like.

Maybe someone else knows?
