Hi all, was wondering if anyone knows what brand of window this is? As you can see it is missing a glass louver and louver aluminum frame. Any suggestions on what I can do? I have been looking online for a replacement but no luck yet. Rough opening is 30 1/4" wide x 15 1/2" tall, TIA  IMG_1295 by Carol Donley, on Flickr |

Have you considered actually making a new replacement frame?
Find a old donor window of the same model, and cut it down to your required size.
VTS (Vintage Trailer Supply), and VTG (Vintage Trailer Gaskets) sell the gaskets and parts for these windows.
VTS even sells some of the extrusions.
I would guess it's a Hehr Clear View model, have you looked for the model numbers stamped into the back frame?
The corners are mitered, and screwed together on most windows. Some windows have a welded corner, which can be done "at home" with the low temperature Alumi weld from VTS.
The glass comes from your local hardware store.
It's very "doable"

I have a 1964 Ionia-a-Home trailer. The windows look just like the one in the picture. I have tsken some apart as there's glass missing. Cleaned the aluminium and purchased new gaskets from Vintage gaskets. There is a tiny "bent just so" piece of metal that holds the bottom of the glass into the aluminum frame. Some of mine are either lost or broken. Any clues as to what can be done about it. I would send photos, but after reading how to send pictures to this forum it I figured I would be too old to care.
