Hi Guys,

I have the new window (fixed one) to reinstall and have the frame and tracks completely clean. I am a little concerned on seating the fixed window and having it stay where it's supposed too long enough for the adhesive to dry.

Any tips, tricks or even a whole DIY would be much appreciated!!

Coach is 1976 Palm Beach 26' with 28k

Thanks a bunch!

I didn't have a problem when I set the fixed glass in my 76. It stayed in place using the tube of stuff I got at the glass shop. Just make sure you leave enough room for the rubber mouldings on all sides.

Pros use a low adhesive masking tape at the top so it doesn't slide down. Regular masking tape will work, just use 3 or 4 pieces and dont leave it on too long or in the sun.

Oops!

Section 1 of the Maintenance Manual has detailed instructions on how to
remove and replace the windows; not the Parts Book.

Sorry!

Regards,
Rob M.

I removed and replace a rear window in my coach, and took out all the
tracks in all the windows, I found out to late that the track has to be
perfect. I ended up with no windows while I waited for the track to come
in from cinnabar. Oh yeah, it rained the next day!
