I'm slowly fixing up a 73 high top and I'm having a hard time sourcing a couple of seals to the top jalousie windows and skylight vent. Both live in the fiberglass top so I don't think DB and WW "Westfalia" seals will work. I've searched here, I've checked RV parts websites, I've wandered the isle at my local Hardware Depot, and I can't find anything like these. How do you replace parts like these?
Thanks,
Samson

Howdy Samson,
Your window looks like it is made by Hehr. They made a lot of windows for the travel trailer and RV world. I found something that looks correct over at:

They are currently sold out, but the information might help.
