Broken rear window
I just discovered today that someone broke one of the crankout awning windows (7”x42” approx) in the rear of the 5vr. I called the local Keystone dealer and he said I’d be better off going to a glass...

I got the frame out, but It sure didn’t want to come out easily! Being the top one it is somehow hooked into the rubber molding above it. The glass shop is charging me $85. to replace the glass. My fear is that I will break it trying to re-install it. I went to the Keystone dealer and they said it is a Kinro window, not Lippert. They didn’t have any service info on it, so I have e-mailed Kinro to see what they recommend. If I do break it, I will put plexi glass in the second time! Wish me luck.
Tempered is very tough. Just don’t hit the edge as it may shatter into little cubes.
Agree.
I am a door contractor and I have taken tempered glass and flung it into the dumpster and it will just bounce around. Laying flat you can stand on it.
But just a light TAP with a hammer on the edge....POOF!!!! lol.
YEP, finishing mortising in an entry lock when I was a Carpenter Apprentice and gave the hole one last tap with the chisel and the glass panel exploded into thousands of pcs. I was shocked and felt horrible. Told the Boss and he said "not the end of the world" and I felt a bit better.
We would lay 3' x 9' x 1/4" panels on a tarp and straddle the corner, lean over with a hammer and lightly tap the corner. Pull in the corners of the tarp and lift and place into a debris dumpster and take then done the freight elevator and then into the dumpster.
