I have a stock/combo trailer with a channel for plexiglass. I have the plexi cut into two pieces on each side. I am looking for some kind of rubber trim I can put between the two pieces. Something that has a channel on each side that each piece of plexi can slide into and will help give me a better dust/water seal than having nothing between the pieces. I don't want to use duck tape. Anyone know of any kind of rubber trim available out there and where I would get it. Or any other ideas on how to butt the two plexi pieces up together and have a seal between them. Thanks for any help.

Location: Iowa | Thanks guys...I"ll try Mendards and see if I can find the glassboard seam joiner...if not, I'll look for a small black or gray rubber tube/hose. Good ideas...any other inventors out there have any suggestions?!
THANKS! |

Location: western PA | The big box stores sell a "H" shaped molding for the installation of 1/4" hardboard panels. They seal the seam between the two panels when placed edge to edge. They are available in 8' strips of plastic or metal construction. Cut to length. Gard

Location: Tennessee | If you have 1/4 inch plexi, you could buy some of this stuff (00952) and glue two pieces of molding together at the backs, maybe:

On second thought, here's some H channel that might be what you really need:

Don't know anything about the company, but I think it's the same people The Roadrunner deals with. :D

Location: Kansas | farmtek.com or 1-800-327-6835. They carry "H" channel in their farm catalog that I think is just what you want. It's on page 74 of their catalog. Nice people to deal with too. |

Location: central sierra nevada foothills | Yep my Logan has what Gard is talking about, it's factory that way. Works fine with rain and dust, come summer I pull it out, slide it under my mattress in front to store it, gives the ponies more air flow back there for summer. |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | The door edge molding that you can pick up at Walmart and auto parts stores will work also. Already has adhesive on the inside. Something like this.. http://www.trim-gard.com/product.php3?Partno=402-50 Most of it comes in a 25' or 50' roll, chrome or black. It will slide freely in the track where the rubber stuff will try to grab and tear. |
