Driver side window piece came off

While on my last trip the driver side window vertical (black in color( metal piece which house the locking mechanism came off of the glass.

I have no idea what brand window this is. I do know the black metal piece had a black rubber piece inside of it that will probably need to be replaced.

For now I cut a piece of wood and put it in the window to keep it from opening.

2013 THOR Hurricane 34F Class A

Any ideas on what brand or manufacturer contact information?
(3 window piece).

Thanks.

Had the same thing happen to my ACE 30.1. Place a block of wood or something soft between the glass and the window frame in the closed position. Then take the old rubber strip and slide it into the metal locking strip. Mix a little water and dish detergent and rub it on the inside of the rubber strip. This will make the rubber slide onto the glass. Take another small block of wood and a hammer and tap the strip back onto the glass. Let it dry. Used this process on mine and haven't had a problem since.

Window problem

I think that rubber piece needs to be replaced. How do I determine the brand of window in order to find out the name of the rubber piece so I can try to find where to get it?

Thanks.

Spoke with a local RV repair

I was told to ditch the rubber piece, get a good two-part epoxy and glue it to the glass. I'm sure the rubber piece is damaged. Came out in several pieces. I'm going to get some 5 minute Loctite epoxy.

This is another repair job I'm spending way too much time on researching.
