So I had heard all about having to pull the entire window frame out to replace glass and if I had help today I probably would have. So I had the cabinet down and all the trim off and looking at the donor window realized pretty quick that pulling apart a window frame that was assembled 41 years ago would probably not go well. So I thought of prying the frame gently until the slider came out. Hmmmm but what to use for that? I stared around the room and when I looked at the pull up bar in my doorway a light bulb came on. So I took the pull up bar out to the coach propped it in the middle of the window allowing enough space for a clear slider track up front and slowly but surely I was able to expand the bar just enough to pop out the plastic junk the PO installed. I then removed the hardware and transferred it to the new OEM donor glass and amazingly I didn't break anything and now I have a new glass window! Thank you Frank Condos for the window you really are a super guy for helping me out.
