Tape it off and paint it black like the rest of the windows?Other plastic stuff has yellowed too. Like the “marine” speakers.I have also considered replacing the glass with “one way” glass so we can see out.Thoughts?

Won’t one way glass darken your interior a bunch?

You can paint it or replace it like I did and got a nice window that you can see out of and is tinted and opens.Like This

I painted the white frames on our last TT with Krylon Fusion. The results were beyond what I could have hoped for. Not only did they look like new, they also stayed that way for 5+ years until I traded it in. There were some small cracks in them that the Fusion filled as well.Scott

You can try wiping the yellow plastic with acetone on a paper towel. Wipe once and toss the paper towel, do not keep rubbing.

I painted all the yellowed plastic parts on our trailer about 13 years ago and they still look like new today. Used Krylon plastic paint as already mentioned by posters above.

I did mine about 8 years ago and it still looks new.

The big trim piece around the skylights started to turn yellow too, so I removed them and painted them as well.

Plain old bleach will turn it white but will yellow again.
I painted mine.

This is exactly what I did and it worked fantastic.

You do know they make clear replacements with internal privacy blinds, right?

Most door windows have frosted glass so why have it???

Ours is clear. Frosty would not be of any valve.

Frosted lets light in, but keeps nosey eyes out.

I agree with this for a quick clean only. When the technician replaced my Dometic 2652 refrigerator, in order to remove some of the adhesive tape residue from the new black plastic cabinet trim bezel, (the trim filler piece) he used an acetone soaked rag and wiped, . . . . . several times too many. That was the end of the factory textured finish. Now it's smooth as glass in a few locations, textured in others. Ooops!

we like our door window and all of our windows on both sides and rear and slides because we like to look at the action.

Simply order it without the USELESS window in the first place!
