If one were to reseal all windows, due to the coach having spend to much
time in the sunny parts of the country, is
still the way to go? And if
yes, is it really as easy as it sounds, ie. 2-3hrs per window?

I found resealing a complete window a easy job, only problems beeing rusted screws
Resealing the panes resulted in a big mess. I cant get the rubber seals to bite I might have used some sealant that is to soft ? as there is way to much space between the pane and the rubber seal

2-3 hours per window sounds about right. I still have one to go. I have found that a rubber mallet is very helpful at speeding up the process and saving some sore thumbs. Good luck.
