I filled mine with black silicone caulking cleaned off the excess with a finger swipe and it looks great.
I also trimmed and scraped out the old caulking around the frame on the outside, it was cracked. Then I went around the whole exterior of the frame with almond silicone caulking, it was a dead ringer for a match.

Default Creation Windows

The upper "Creation" window seals on my 2207 TowLite have shrunk about an inch and a half from exposure to the sun. After doing a lot of Googleing on the WEB I found a supplier for the replacement seal: Creation window parts. The part you want is the C4714024000 Top Vent Seal. I'm anxiously waiting for them to be delivered.

PS: Creation Windows is no longer in business

As old as the above posts are, you may not be able to find any of that type seal. I'll do some looking.

I went through Midget Trailer to get my window seals and it did take several weeks to get them. All of my window seals had shrunk so I started with the larger windows first , replacing the old seal, then I used the old seal on the smaller windows. The replacement process is much easier when the seals are hot from sun heat.This was done late last year
