Front window leak/no gasket??

I have a new to me Funfinder that has a window in the front. It is protected from rocks and such with a hatch door that just like the doors that provide access to my pass-throughs.

After a very heavy rain, I found water had seeped in from somewhere and gotten a small corner of the mattress wet as well as a bit of the carpet. From the location, I'm guessing that "somewhere" is the window. I opened the window and where I expected to see a rubber gasket similar to those around the pass-through doors, there is none. There is a thin 1/4 inch strip of weatherproofing foam attached to the door itself.

I'm going to spray the window down today as soon as it warms up a bit outside to see if I can force a leak (unless there is a better way). If the water is making it's way around this foam insulation, how would you recommend making a repair? Should I replace the existing foam or look for rubber gasket material? This unit sat on a dealers lot and can't help but wonder if someone removed the gasket as they did the one tail light cover and the bumper end cap.

Thanks,

Carolyn,
If you could provide a few pictures it might be helpful for us to see exactly what you have there. On my funfinder, the "rock guard" over the front window is actually quite different than the doors on the pass thru compartments. So perhaps the previous owner of your trailer has changed something on that trailer.
On mine, the window assembly itself is sealed with typical butyl rubber tape between the window frame and the outer skin of the trailer itself. As Wayne said, the rock gaurd itself is not sealed for weather, since it on the ouside of the glass it does need to be. It's function is simply to help protect the glass from breakage.
