BACK DOOR WINDOW SLIPS

THE BACK DOOR WINDOW GLASS HAS SLIPPED DOWN AND COCKEYED, LEAVING GAPS BETWEEN THE WINDOW FRAME AND THE GLASS. ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE UNRELENTING DESERT SUN.

THE SUN RAISES HELL WITH ANYTHING PLASTIC OR RUBBER. THE CAULKING ON THE WINDOW GAVE WAY, AND THE LITTLE PLASTIC HOLDERS INSIDE THE FRAME SNAPPED CAUSING THE WIDOW GLASS TO SLIDE OUT OF PLACE.

MOHAVE RV HAS THE FRAME IN STOCK? THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

TO REMOVE THE WINDOW AND FRAME YOU REMOVE THESE SCREWS FROM THE INSIDE WINDOW FRAME. BE SURE TO HAVE A MARY ON THE OTHER SIDE TO CATCH WHAT IS GOING TO BE THREE PIECES, TWO FRAMES AND THE WINDOW GLASS.

THE RESULT IS A HOLE IN THE DOOR. NOTICE HOW LITTLE INSULATION IS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CAMPER?

THE NEXT STEP IS USE A SILICONE SEALANT TO ATTACH THE GLASS TO THE BLACK OUT SIDE FRAME.

THEN WE NEEDED TO WEIGHT DOWN THE GLASS AND LET THE SEALANT SEAL AND SET UP OVERNIGHT.

THE PROJECT WAS A SUCCESS, AND THIS WOULD BE THE SAME PROCEDURE YOU WOULD USE TO ADD A PAINTED OR LEADED WINDOW TO THE DOOR OF YOUR RV. HERE IS MARY CLEANING UP THE STICKY PART LEFT BY ALL THAT DUCT TAPE.
