    Carefully remove a section of the keeper and compare it to this selection...https://www.pellandent.com/RV-Window-Seal.

    If you have the time lay the new one out in the sun for a couple of weeks, this will help preshrink it. Most commonly the keeper strip will gap where the ends meet or pull out at the corners.

    Being cheap I used some of the old preshrunk keeper from a big window to seal a smaller window. Worked great and after 2 years no gap. The newer stuff  shrunk a bit and so I cut a filler strip and used a bit of glue on the ends to seal it.

    Awesome, thanks for the info.

    I've had several people ask about the rubber keepers on the front and side windows.

    The rubber doesn't seal the window, it just holds the window against the frame. Note that the window sits on a ledge in the frame. On the side windows, there are drains that allow water that accumulates in the outer frame to drain. If these drains are plugged, water could seep past the window and leak inside. (Left drawing)

    The Front window is the same, but with one major difference, it doesn't have drains. so the "tightness" and Cleanliness of the window against the frame is vitally important, so any water that is pooling in the frame cannot seep inside. (Center and Right drawings)

    Attached are a couple drawings we did (Marsha) for a thread regarding window leaks.

    Bring this back from the dead.

    Where would one find the rubber keeper? I have a 92 Warrior that a previous owner calked over the keeper because it was cracking and now I have a leak. I am going to redo the seal of the window frame to the motorhome and would like to redo the keeper as well.
