Window Weep Hole Covers?
I read a post somewhere recently about wind or air noise created by those little slits at the bottom of all the windows which allow water to drain. So I started looking on my coach and noticed about half of the slits had little black plastic "thinga-ma-jigs" popped into the slits, and the other half were missing. They "feel" like they fit kinda loosely which I assume is so the water can still drain out, but somehow they must cut the air noise down. Am I assuming correctly, and if so, does anyone know where I can get some more "thinga-ma-jigs" to replace the ones that have fallen off? Thanks, and don't play too much with your "thinga-ma-jig"!!

When we bought the Magna some of them were missing so the dealer replaced them and gave me a couple extra. When I had time I put a little sealant (not silicone) on each of the little tabs. So far I haven't lost any.

Had sideways rain once that filled the window channels without them. Small dab of silicone when you put on new ones. There are two types (clip from bottom or clip from side) and a left and right side. Atwood used to give them out for free if you identified which type and how many needed for each side. They may not anymore.

Those Thinga-ma-jigs are some times called weep hole covers. Most RV dealers sell them in their parts department. I bought some at General RV a few years ago.

You can buy them on Amazon.

The only thing about buying them on Amazon, is identifying the correct ones...
I have 3 sets of the wrong ones
How do you know what type window you have ?

Atwood are the folks to call. I called a couple years ago and they sent me a dozen free. The phone number I used is 800-546-8759. Just tell them right or left or both and I'll bet they'll send them to you and you won't even have to pay shipping.
