Windows
Lost the seal in my driver side window. 05 Fleetwood Ex 39L. Does someone repair these or do they have to be replaced. Have no idea where to do either. Thanks for your help.

Did it work OK, Hank? What was the cost and can a bumbler do it?? Are the windows still sealed? Thanks
I did 7 windows on our previous MH. Less than $150 for the spacer and sealant. A heat gun is your friend when doing this job. It makes cutting through the sealant to separate the 2 panes a lot easier. In most cases the whole unit has to be removed from the MH. The heat gun also works well for loosening the hand rail on the sliding half. We sold that MH home in June so how long the repairs will last is hard to say, they did hold up for several years.
Edgetech super space comes in several thicknesses. The glass is typically 1/8" thick. So you need to measure the glass to be sure and thickness of the 2 pane unit, typically 1/2" for larger fixed or sliders. Two 1/8" panes of glass and a 1/4" spacer. Smaller crank out windows may only be 7/16" total. Two 1/8" panes of glass and a 3/16" spacer.
Maybe I'm slow but it took longer than a few hours per window for me. I did have to remove the whole window unit, separate the 2 halves then reseal both halves. It's definitely a DIY project if you're willing to do the work. The first one is always the hardest.
