Hi all, I'm looking at buying a 2006 Discovery. the driver's side windows are fogging. Any ideas how much it costs to fix this and where one might go to have the work done? Would a regular automotive glass shop be able to handle it?

I assume that you are talking about dual pain windows. probably got a batch of that company that are all falling apart. look elsewhere or plan on paying to have a company reinstall all of your windows. don't buy it. and don't let cheap imitation windows be priced out for you.bumpy

Suncoast Designers in Hudson, FL will remove them,take them apart,clean them, reseal and put back for about $250.00 per window with a 10 year warranty.Jack Buening

I went to sun coast also. I think after first one, others are $200 each. I saw all brands of Rvs there and all years. They told me it is very common with dual pane windows, no matter what price coach. They do an excellent job and provide full hook ups while work is being done.

another thumbs up for Suncoast. we had a number of windows done a few years back and all are still clear. some of the windows were smaller and they gave us a 50% discount on those. if you're not near florida or won't/can't go there are several other outfits that claim to do the same thing. - Dave Root RV Glass Repair (Oregon)- RV Fog Doctor (Arkansas)good luck.

Had the same problem with a Newmar Canyon Star.Went the expensive route since it's a safety issue. Both sides ofmy rig had fogged windows. Couldn't get to Suncoast in a timely manner.Apparently, many 2006 - 2007 coaches used an inferior seal and hench, problems.Newmar gave me a deep discount on the windows. I had them installed at my localglass guy's place. Had I the time to get to Suncoast, I would have saved over $1000.

Call atwood, wade thru their voice prompt system. You will end up with Beverly. She sounds 80 plus and sweet as hell. She knows EVERY motorhome out there, weather atwood originally made the windows or not.

They will sell you new panes at a very good price.

Then all you have to do is unscrew the interior trim. pop out the windows, disassemble it, put in the new pane, reassemble, pop it back in, resinstall the interior trim, and shoot a lil silicone around the edges.

This is not a hard job.
You may need a second person to catch a large window when you pop it out, but the only tool you will need is a #2 philips screwdriver.

that is option a.
option b would be to buy a motorhome that didn't require a rebuild.

But sooner or later "Option B" will need it! Got one of mine from Fleetwood at a very low price, and rebuilt another myself for less than that.

Great thing about this country of ours...we have choices.
At least, most of the time ;)

RV Glass Repair Services in Greensboro NC fixed several foggy windows in my coach. I couldn't see my mirrors. Nice folks and prompt professional service.

Bumpy: The fogging window problem is present in entry level units right up to luxury units. Almost any RV with dual pane windows will have that problem. To the poster with the Expedition: Our 05 Bounder has dual pane windows as did almost every Bounder from 02 to 09. Maybe even more. I have seen Discoveries of that era with dual pane windows.

Dual pane windows became standard items on all Bounders in 1994.

If you have a door on the driver, or passenger side, they are single pane. If there is no door, they will be what the other side windows are. Dual pane windows are like slides, some people can't live without them, some want nothing to do with them. For us, once you have them, you can't live without them.

any places recommended in the la,ca area?

My buddy just had his done by Dave Root RV Glass. You can send him pictures of your windows, where you are located, and when he gets a few folks in the same area will drive down and do them.

The 2 brands used by FW are SEGI and Creative. Both have fogging problems. The companies that fix the fogged windows usually give you a lifetime warranty. With any FW ( and others) product it is not if it has fogged windows but when!. So following bumpy's advice is of no value.
