Missing Cowl on feedthrough

Got on the roof of my adventurer camper and noticed that the cable feedthrough was missing a cowl.
Must have blown off.
Anyone know who manufactures one like this so I can find a replacement?

    Apply some sealant to it just like how they sealed the red and black wire connection right behind it. Keep it simple.

    I can't find anything that looks like it. Does it have a brand name on it, or what brand of antenna is it?

    I do believe adding Dicor would seal it.

    Thanks!
    Yeah I searched internet yesterday looking for a match, couldn't find anything.
    No brand name on the part in the picture. Sent an email to Adventurer to see if it was
    something that they installed. Can't look at the antenna since I covered it with a tarp and
    its raining this week.
    If I can't find the right part then Dicor is the default fix.

    Update:
    Got an email from Adventurer and they said it was the base for a Jensen OMNI TV antenna.
    Found this diagram below that confirms that.
    I think what happened the previous owner must have removed the Jensen antenna and installed a different brand in another location but with the antenna gone they failed to seal around where the cable enters.
    Luckily it has been an extremely dry summer. Camper was stored indoors for 2 years before that. So I will confirm this and seal it when I remove the tarp.

    Sorry didn't see this earlier but looks like you got the info you need.

    Just a comment on the SAE connection, I think that may have been added by someone other than Adventurer. I have that plug but it's mounted in the lower mount (not the cover) of the fridge vent on mine.... of course could be different place on different models it just seems odd to mount it pointing up.

    You found what you needed.

    Did you notice that the diagram specifies to caulk the 3 screw and the wire feed through point. Obviously wasn't done when the antenna was mounted.

    Yeah, and there is a drain slot on the end to let any water that gets in a place to drain out.
