Does anyone know how to remove the angled fixed window from atwood next to the drivers window and the windshield. I removed the frame (from the inside) but the sealant is really holding the window in. Do I need a heat gun or would you recommend sending it to a glass shop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Peter Griffin: I just had mine replaced at the Winnie factory. Cost me $1500.00 just for the two glasses, Winnebago furnished the labor. The glasses I am talking about are the two angled dual panes on each side of the cockpit. I tried to get a local automotive glass shop to do them and they did not want to take it on. Their estimate was much higher than $1500.00. So it is a bit of a chore apparently. I still think ATWOOD should have to do a recall on these windows. Sorry I can't be more specific on the sealant.

WOW tha is high. Flagg Rv said it would take one to two hours tops at $95.00 an hour. I will let you know the end result.

Peter Griffin: I just checked the invoice from Winnebago: RH window cost to Winnebago $749.25, LH window cost to Winnebago $511.30. Since they did not charge labor, I can't give you the $$$$ on that. They typically charge $95.00 Per hour. My cost on the glass when I called ATWOOD, would have been $1500.00. (It is ridiculous). Please do let me know. Hope you get a better deal.

I had my passenger side window done about 3 years ago at 700.00. It was done at my selling dealership. My times have changed. They used a plastic scraper and a lot of patience. That buttel rubber is tough.

thanks for the info. I have the frame from the inside off. A just cant get the window out and I am afraid I will damage the fibergalss if I keep hitting it out. I also discover that the top window leaks and is dripping onto the bottom windows ledge and then onto the insulation (white foam board)that is between the walls.

Suggest you call Customer Service at Winnebago and ask for the Shop Service Supervisor. They do this all the time and probably can help you with your job. There is enough expense involved in the replacement of these defective windows already.

I just had the two back bedroom windows replaced on my Winne. Moisture between the glass. All under warranty, Lucky Me. Anyway the service teck at La Mesa RV said Winnebago was having lots of issues with dual pane windows and moisture leaks and would be soon going back to just the single pane windows in the new rigs. Interesting. We can send men to the moon but can not seal windows panes!

Interesting comment but true. I think it can be done. Winnie needs to get a supplier that can do it. ATWOOD sure can't, along with some other items they are not proficient in.
