I can find things about newer coaches,but there seems to be enough difference the even trying to work inside/outside, parts still just don't jive.

Is there a write-up for older style windows or am I just missing something. I really don't want to get the huge piece of glass loose (this is the dinette window on a 23') and then find out I got it wrong.

Matt, ain't nothing to it. We bought our's from Jim Bounds. I think the instructions came with the felt. Teri and I did all windows, excluding driver and passenger side windows. Then, at Dothan, Jim bounds did those for us.

As long as you are talking only about the sliding window (leading or forward window for early style windows) you basically follow the same instructions as you do for the cockpit windows. (As they are of similar design.) I do not have a link to instructions of either window, but JimB sends them with each "kit" he sells.

If you receive some instructions could you scan them and post them. (or send them to bdub.) Just for future reference of early coach owners.

That said... if you are and early coach owner and get the chance, upgrade those leaky windows! Twisted Evil
