| Jan 10 at 1:45 | comment | added | popham | My first instinct is some kind of EPDM closed cell foam rubber. The installation strategy is important, though. I would want a low friction material against metal if the plan is to adhesive it to the window frame. I would want a high friction material against metal if the plan is to plug and unplug the holes as a part of the window closing and opening process. Just buy extra and practice a few times on a mock up until you get it right. Glued to the window itself would be far less likely to tear. | |
