Hello!
My name is Jim. My wife and I are the new owners of a used Airstream. :D
It's a 1976 Safari that we purchased in late July of 2014. At this point, we are currently in the process of getting materials together to do some repair work on it. We will need to pop out each window, take the weather stripping off then clean it before putting new stripping back on. Also the front window may or may not need a new hinge. When I take it off, I will know for certain where I stand.
On top of that, the front exterior shell will need to have a nice dent worked on to remove said dent. The guy who sold it to us threw in the interior curved section for the front, which we are assuming cracked when it was originally dented.
We are tackling this one step at a time. The windows need to get done first as moisture can get in what it rains hard. I put on a thin piece of regular weather stripping when I winterized it last year and crossed my fingers. Luckily it worked and when we opened her up a few weeks ago, she was completely dry.
Like other new Airstream owners, my head is swimming right now as I learn all this terminology. We moved up from our Coleman popup and were lucky to have found such a good deal.
