Hey everyone thank you for all your input on the accumulator tank issue I
know more than I thought I would have to know about these tanks now. But I
am also in the process of redoing the windows, I need to remove the entire
frame from the coach. Do you just pry away or is there a magic button that
releases them like the 3 slots at the bottom of the window? Just a little
help here I need to remove them to clean them up and place new rubber seals
all the way around.
Thanks fellas

A very useful tool for managing the windows is available at Harbor Freight. It is a large handle with double suction cups. It apparently is used by glass installers to manage the panes of glass. I used one to help hold and maneuver my windows when I installed them. Made the job so much easier.
The stock windows are held to the coach body with aluminum plates and sheet metal screws. They are located under the existing plastic trim around the windows. You may get osme resistance from the packing between the windows and the body of the coach.
Reattach the windows loosely before tightening down the screws. Start at the top and then go down the sides evenly. Tighten the bottom screws last. Do not over-tighten the screws.

Holy thumb buster!!! Did one window today and DAMN your thumbs are sore
afterwards. The smaller rubber seal was a lot easier to install than the
larger portion of the seal. My wife brought out her hair dryer and heated up
the new seal and made it softer it actually worked well. Took some time but
worth it it looks great.
