Maybe. Airstream has a way of keeping parts for older campers.

BuddyR,
I have a '95 with the same issue. I would like to find the exact replacement, but would settle for a good substitute. If you find a source let us know, and if anyone else has a substitute let me know. I bought mine several months ago and it had had many years of little use and neglect, and I did not know much about motor homes and how stuff worked. But thanks to the info on this forum I have been able to get everything operative and am now addressing the cosmetic issues. My wife and I are taking it on it's first outing this weekend. Thanks to all on this forum for the great information on these special motor homes.

Seriously, try calling Airstream. They might have it.

Hi there,

Did you ever find a replacement for the rubber/vinyl seal material that run around the perimeter of the top? Mine is cracking from weather and peeling off in strips. Thanks.

I also would love to find a nice replacement for this seal. I just finished all the windows...and now found a leak in the back of the van as the junction in the topper underneath this seal. If I can't find anything, I'm going to sand it and fiberglass over it and then put a vinyl stripe over it.
