These bobbled out from the front window top aluminum exterior extrusion when I wiggled it to investigate leakage.
They seem to fit into each end but I was unsuccessful in determining just how. The window slides left and right in its extrusion, which is not desirable.
Side windows don't appear to have these.
Can someone take a picture of how they fit into the front outside extrusion? Thanks.

I'll need to glue these in, popping out too easily. I wonder if they used adhesive or tape originally.
Needs to be removable so will use a dab of Geocel caulk.
My guess- Nucamp or the window manufacturer threw these on rather than use a setscrew or glued block to keep the window from sliding out of the extrusion.
My truck contractor cap has a similar type of extrusion for the aluminum tailgate that flips up. However it has a center setscrew to keep it from moving side to side. Nucamp could have used a setscrew against an aluminum pressure plate, to avoid penetrating the glazing and hold the window securely against sideways sliding.
Or a gasketed screw head. I may go that route and dremel a slot in the extrusion for the screw shank to rotate through. On a breezy day I don't like my window shifting around laterally.
