Removing Window Pane

Update**

I called Atwood and talked with a REALLY nice representative! After reading and reading about repairs and fixes and replacements, etc...I was anticipating that a new replacement window would be way too expensive to consider..(I have read anywhere from $300 - $800 for replacements and the average repair at one of the foggy window places has been estimated at $275. Well, the lady I spoke with said that the replacement stationary pane from Atwood sells for $150 and the slider sells for $175. Add in shipping and I'm still less that even the trouble it would be to have it repaired. I've got to call back with the exact dimensions of my window frame, but am looking forward to a good transaction. Hoping I won't be disappointed!

Thanks everyone! You folks are the best! I was hoping that the pane itself could be removed without having to remove the entire frame, but it sounds like that ain't happening. Guess I'll get to work....

Not terribly hard. Loosen all the screw securing the inside trim, leave at least half loose but still attached.
Use a suitable tool to cut the silicon around the outside, something thin and kinda flexible, be careful not to scratch the paint.
Remove the inside screws while someone capable of lifting the window is outside ready to do just that. With the silicon cut and the inside trim removed nothing but age and habit is holding the window in.

Once it's out and on a solid surface you can disassemble it, clean everything, and replace the bad pane.

If it's an Atwood, their customer service is very good, and they can sell and ship you the replacement panes.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to remove the entire window frame, remove the 2 or 4 screws holding the ends of the frame together (usually at the bottom), pry the frame apart slightly to gain clearance, and then you can remove the window.

I placed a file with pictures in the files section of IRV2 forum if you want to see pictures of my repair of the sliding portion of the passenger window on my 2000 HR Endeavor. Look for fogged window repair.

If your windows are made by Atwood, as I suspect, the slider can be removed with out taking out the whole window.
Loosen the screws holding the inside and outside frames together. Remove the "U" shaped felt channel the window slides in. The frame will need to be spread about 1/8" to remove the glass.
The whole frame will need to be removed to replace the fixed pane.

That rubber gasket on mine was mastic and the glass was embedded in it. On mine you had to take the frame out and then apart and then you could get both pieces of glass out. Your glass people should be able to look at it and tell you .
