After reading on the forum extensively about windows, here is what I have found about my coach.
The front (living room?) sliders are old style, multipiece frames with LOF glass in them. You have to open the screen to get to the handles, which are on the ends, not the middle.
The back four vertical sliders in the kitchen/dinette area are new style with PPG glass in them.
The passenger side big slider is, perhaps, a driver's side window. The window slides from the rear forward, not from the front backward.
The drain holes in the frame are at the bottom.
Both big sliders are very difficult to operate. I can do it, my wife cannot.
Here's the questions:
I saw Jim Bound's short video on new windows, but I need info on how to install new felts on the big sliders.
Do I have to take the glass out to change the felts?
Is it possible to remove the glass out of the passenger side, and then flip them 180 degrees vertically so the handle is in front as it should be?
Or is it indeed a driver's side frame and cannot be changed in this manner?
Thank you.
