Hi All,



I've found a lot of great information about resealing/rebuilding nearly
every window on our coaches except for the upper & lower fixed glass in
the standard cockpit windows. Any tips or tricks for changing the
gaskets?



Those gaskets have split and are pulling away from the upper corners on
our coach, so that's another project we'd like to tackle soon.



Thanks,



-Dave

Yes -- that's very helpful for the sliding pane -- thanks! I also need
to change the gasket on my upper pane (which appears to be an uncommon
need) as it has split and shrunk at the upper rear. There's a picture
up at http://www.forwardlook.net/images/gmc/DSC_9135.JPG

It looks like the inner crossbars need to be removed in order to R&R
the glass up top, if not removing the whole window. Haven't seen the
process detailed anywhere.
