Weep Hole Covers

Lost a weep hole cover on our Tiffin, looks like it was glued on not using caulk. What I am wanting to know is what others have used to put them back on and is Tiffin the only place to buy them?
Thanks for all comments

    Well, Tiffin DOES build their own windows, that is why Tiffin has a 5 year prorated warranty on the windows. They have built their windows for at least 4o years. Doug

  • Tiffin make their own windows. There is no left or right covers and yes they are glued or caulk all across the top. Didn’t find them on e-Bay or Amazon. What ever is holding them on has crystallized that is the reason they came off.

    Do not glue or silicone them on .. snap on only .. the holes need to stay fully open or water will pool inside the frame and run down the inside of the wood wall rotting it out from the inside. You don’t want that !
    You can buy them cheaply on eBay after you know who made the window.

    I used clear silicon just on the top, to keep them sealed and in place. Must not have been properly attached or they wouldn't have fell off, in the first place.

  • I bought replacements off Ebay. They are Atwood covers and they simply snap into place. The weather will eventually cause them to become brittle and fall off. Buy some extras..they are LEFT AND RIGHT specific.....Dennis
