Need fill plug seal for front cab over window.

I am looking for a rubber "fill plug seal" for a front cab over window on my 2006 Fleetwood Tioga 26Q class C. I have been told the window was made by Creation Windows who are no longer in business and the part is no longer available from Fleetwood or ParKin Accessories. I have added a photo of the space at the top of the window I'm looking to plug or seal.

Anyone know of a source for one or an alternative that can be made to fit?

Class C

    You are correct. It is a Tioga. We almost bought a Thor and got the Tioga instead. I had thought it was aluminum and not rubber and Fleetwood said they thought it was aluminum also and there would have been a rubber plug there. I'm tempted to just fill it with roof sealer since no one says they have anything to plug it.

    It's got a cover over it now (under about a foot of snow) but I might be taking it on a trip down south in a couple of weeks and will have to have it sealed up before that. If water gets in there and freezes it could cause some damage.

    Having the same Vintage Fleetwood 26Q, Mine is a Tioga. I have never heard of a Thor built by Fleetwood.

    The window frame is aluminum on mine and has no gap like that. It may be that the extrusion that was made into the frame was to small, thus leaving the gap.

    Maybe you could take it to a glass shop and ask if they have something that would work. Just a thought.

    It might not be rubber trim around the window. Fleetwood seemed to think it was an aluminum frame all around with a rubber gasket underneath and the space was for a rubber fill plug which is missing.

    There is two feet of snow around the RV and a foot on the cover but I will check it as soon as I can.

    I have has trim shrink and solved it by using a hair dryer to warm it, after stretching it and getting it back where it belongs drilled and added a screw to keep it in place. Dick

    That looks like it could be the rubber gasket shrunk. That is a fairly common problem. The shop I took mine to could not get the proper extruded rubber and heated it in hot water and it stretched to fit. That lasted until I sold it to a friend.
