That's what all are here for is to help fellow Whaler lovers find the answers to their questions. You'll also note that in most cases there will be many many answers and opinions! Many times will contradict one another too! Tom 1979 Sport 15'

I set the glass panes in the unit with clear silicon and then tapped the gasket into the channel using a rubber mallet and a thin piece of wood. I found the job to be a lot easier with two people; one holds the gasket flat on the glass and aligned to fit into the channel, the other does the tapping. The gasket will twist and not lay flat at the corners, trying to keep the gasket flat and do the tapping by oneself is a royal and frustrating pain. Even though 16' is way more than needed get it anyway, you'll have spare in case of any mistake.
