Replacement Vent Water Seal for 1976 Trillium 1300 Original Ceiling Vent

Question:

I am trying to figure out which replacement seal would be appropriate for my 1976 Trillium 1300 roof vent. I think it is the original part. It is deteriorated and leaking. Hopefully the pics below can help. I was looking at this seal and this one. Any assistance you could provide would be a huge help. Thank you, Mel The website is not allowing me to upload another picture, so email me if this is not enough. BVE0127-00

Thanks for the photos. That vent is definitely an original and the Replacement Dome Seal for Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vents # BVD0455-01 will not work for the style a vent you have. If you want to keep your vintage vent then I recommend using weather seal like the UWS Weather Seal Foam for Toolboxes - Per Foot # UWS125FOAM for that flat surface seal. Unfortunately there isn't a specific confirmed fit seal for your style vent, but that is the seal I would use and then monitor for effectiveness.

If you want to upgrade your vent, then I recommend the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent - Manual - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" - White # V2092SP-28 along with the Roof Vent Installation Kit - Sealant, Butyl Tape, Screws - White # 344270KITW to give you a water tight vent with daytime light as well.
