The weather stripping or seal that is on my front window shield where the walkthrough window meets the fixed window is all crooked and worthless. I am heading up to home depot right now. Any suggestions on what to replace it with? Just some regular weather stripping?

Make sure it’s neoprene or other closed cell foam, open cell foam will hold water.

@HangOutdoors Did you ever find a good solution for this? That weather strip is worthless, mine just fell off. Thinking about getting this:

Yes I did.
It works perfect. I had some of the foam strip but it made it way to snug on latching the window. This stuff is also thin so I use it under my seats as well in the bow so water doesn't run over and in.

Sure...that would be awesome, I appreciate it. I bought the foam stuff too (not the same as the link I sent u) and it was way too snug. It was 3/16” thick so I figured 1/8” might work. I’ll hang off until ur able to send a pic.

Appreciate the tip. I still have the original foam on the part that opens; but when mounting a suction cup mount for a camera, I added the typical foam window seal to the driver windshield frame to eliminate the “slop”. It also did not stay put. Will probably rip off the original and replace with your recommendation!

Not a problem. It is dark brown almost black and it works fantastic. Seals the window and is just snug enough that no air comes through and the window is firm and doesn't shake. LOL like you, I have about 5 different types of seal and non of it worked the way I wanted it to but this one.
