How remove inside window trim?

I have a 94 Layton fifth wheel and need to replace a piece of paneling around the window. I can figure out how to remove the inside window trim so I can fit the paneling close to the window. Hopefully the picture uploads.

  • I'll let you know when I find out. Too many other things going on right now to do it. Had wanted to do it this past weekend.

    I too have pulled the paneling and need to replace, but there are NO screws on the inside, I really hope that I do not have to remove the whole window just to redo the paneling.
    If you find out how to do this please let me know. If not, I will let you...

  • Thanks guys for the info. I haven't had too much of a chance to investigate removal of the window frame. I wasn't able to find replacement paneling so We just going to replace a couple of sections by the door and window and my wife said she'll paint it an accent color.

    Usually there are screws on the inside frame that screw through to the outside frame pulling the two together. Do you have screws on the outside screwing into the inside frame? They are usually about every 6 inches.

    X 2...And if it is like my windows.

    Just be careful with the window as it can fall out with "clamp ring" or "compression ring" removed and fall to the outside. RV windows cost plenty and usually have to be ordered. Doubtful it will fall as it should have some caulking which would prevent it from falling. But don't give it a chance. If you have or had a leak from around that area it might be weak. There might be some very little small barely visible numbers and letters at one of the corners. Write it down and hope you don't need it.

    Then stick up whatever material your using as replacement and then go outside and trace the area of window and then it cut out.

    Hope you more lucky than I was on getting replacement paneling the same color and texture.

    Keep us posted
