Hehr window alternatives

[Maine-iacs]

I have some double pane Hehr windows that have developed fogging between the panes. Priced out replacing them and almost had heart failure. Any realistic alternatives?

Might have to start wintering in FL I guess! Especially after the last one.

We have the LCI version "3000 bonded frameless". I can't remember the original brand before they were bought up, but ours seem to be doing fine. No fogging between panes.

Talk to the folks at Motion Windows

There windows are are awesome and carry a lifetime warranty.

Suncoast is recommended, also there is a place in Searcy, AR, RV Fog Dr. One in Yuma/Phoenix, Auto Glass Boss. Call the local rv dealers, maybe there is someone on the east coast that repairs windows.

Frameless windows look really good. But they are more expensive initially and more expensive to repair/replace.

I live in Western New York (Buffalo area) but winter in Fort Myers,Fl. Last year on the way down to Fort Myers I stopped at their facility to have a window repaired. Their service was excellent. They have several sites for customers to stay on (at no cost) with electric and water hookups while work is being done. My window was repaired and reinstalled in one day and I was on my way. The warranty they give is better than what the manufacturer (Hehr) gives on a brand new replacement window. I highly recommend them.

X2 on Sun Coast Designers.

I had all of my windows removed/reworked by them this past December. Some of mine had not leaked yet, but as long as I was there I had them done also. They did 15 windows for me in 4 days.

One word of caution if you have frameless windows. Their cost to rework frameless windows is double that for frame windows.

I don't know about HR but DRV will send you direct replacement windows from HEHR at their cost plus shipping. I have done this with our last MS, awesome deal!

[Merrykalia]

We "lost" a window on our way back from the beach last year and we purchased a replacement from an individual who disassembled wrecked and totalled RVs, then sold the parts on ebay. I think it was about $75 including shipping.

Double post.

There are a few individuals/shops I've seen mentioned over the years that will disassemble, reseal and reassemble these double-pane windows. Perhaps others will be along who might have specific information regarding where you can have this done.

They are definitely pricey!
