- wa8yxmExplorer IIIOpen window
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIDoes the window Open?
Open it and drive - mgh122ExplorerThe glass doesn't crack it fractures in to beads, it really doesn't take that long for it to fracture, don't ask how I know. The positive side of it fracturing is if you clean out all of the pieces no more fogging.:B
- slickest1ExplorerI have the same problem. The seal is shot between the two panes allowing moisture in. I carefully and I mean carefully drilled a couple small holes between the panes on the end that opens. I then hold the hair dryer toward those holes and it will clear the moisture. The glass will be stained or etched but you will still be able to see out. It is a very temporary fix. I still want to get mine fixed or replaced permanently.
- donfrumpExplorerpretty simple deal really .like I said from the get go just hit it with a hair dryer till it clears(drys)
and drive her to the shop for repair no point in trying reinvent the wheel
at least that's what I would do - MrWizardModeratorIt was sealed
It isn't sealed now, our it wouldn't be fogged
There is a leak in the seal or a crack some place
It sucked in most air when the glass was cooling down
Which is why it fogs up
Can you rig a side view camera and connect to the rear view monitor
So you can sees down the side of the RV - RLS7201Explorer II

Drivers side window is fogged up ,can't see mirror need temp fix to drive safely to repair facility . Any ideas ?
If it is mineral etch (fogged), there is nothing you can do to clean it up. Both panes of glass will be etched.
If it is just wet between the panes, you can drill through the spacer and air dry it.

I crack the glass on my pickup with defroster on max and snow on other side.
Glass is strong, so is heat stress.
Different glass under different circumstances and iam willing to bet there was a small crack starting on the windshield and it just got way bigger. Been there and seen that situation many times - Kayteg1Explorer III crack the glass on my pickup with defroster on max and snow on other side.

it will a sealed unit dual pane window other wise it would not be fogged up
Would it be sealed, it would not fog ;)
I ditto the hair dryer, but with caution as applying too much heat can crack the glass.
If you have time to wait, parking the coach with window exposed to sun will solve it after some time as well.
