Hi all, me again....  So I got ready to install my first window tonight, but when I put it in place for a dry fit (it fit like a glove, thankfully) it pushed in on the inside quite a bit more than I thought it should? Like, probably close to 1/2". I know when I put putty on it will eat up some of that space, but even still, do the windows project into the interior quite a bit? I've attached a picture, though it's hard to see just how far it come in beyond the interior window frame trim.  2020-11-16_08-54-17 by t_in_maine, on Flickr |

Is this on your Airflyte? Side window?
I can’t really make out the photo.

I can’t really make out the photo. yes and yes; this is one of the side rear windows; difficult to get a good clear picture which accurately depicts the discrepancy. In this photo, I'm looking up underneath the photo. So it's shot from the underside of the window. The window frame trim piece is slid in from the inside, then the window slid into place obviously from the outside. The window itself sits in a GENEROUS 1/4" beyond the trim piece. |

Yes, it will come in to the camper about 1/2" more or less.
I wish I had a better photo.

Whew! Thank you! Today I can proceed with window installation with peace of mind. |
