The front windows on my trawler are bordered by a tan tape (about 1" wide) that fits securely into the window frame channels. I suspect it is a waterproofing mechanism. Mine has shrunk and is coming apart in bits and pieces. Anyone know of a replacement?

I guess you're talking about the gasket that holds the glass into the frame.
Check <a href="http://www.toolworks.com/cgi-bin/tw/wwb ... 1046">this post</a> and the reply. Maybe the window manufacturers can point you toward a source for the window gasket. I'm not sure whether you can replace it short of removing the entire window.
The caulking around the frame is another source of leaks.
