99' dutch star by newmar..window seals /gaskets

Our window seals are buldging away from the frames? so far not fogging but we haven't been in that kind of weather. Any way to cheaply fix this?
  • If you want to do it yourself, you can get most of the supplies from Amazon.com.

    I did one last year, and documented with pictures at link below:

    Dual Pane Window Repair-My Way

    If I were doing it again, I would not reuse the old window spacer. New window spacer contains some chemicals to help keep the inside of the window dry. I could not find 3/16th spacer, so I reused the old spacer. Almost all of the time, my repaired window is completely clear. I've had one time where the sun hit the window just right along with the temperature caused a little fogging inside the window. After a year, the window is still clear.

    If you don't want to buy supplies from Amazon.com, Dave Root sells a kit for the window repair. You can see the kit and additional info at the link below.

    You will find the supplies from Amazon.com will be much cheaper.

    Edit entry....you can find 3/16 spacer here:

  • I think I read some where that a big glass business bought the old Monaco plant in Oregon and they do the dual pane window repair there. I think they also have a building in Phoenix. Az.
  • There are several DIY Videos that explain how to repair them. There is a Company in Richmond BC that sells all the materials. I suspect that there are others closer to where You live.

    Just google Window Repairs!
  • Yes they are the dual pane windows. it seems like just the last 2 yrs they have almost all done this. of course the coach is 14yrs young with low mi., stored inside most of its life....I read somewhere it was $250 per window and of course that would cost a lot to repair as many as we have.
  • Are you talking about dual pane windows ? No cheap fix BUT there are places that do it.
