This can be done with the original glass or plexiglass. It works. I blasted this trailer from the side full blast with the spray hose nozzle and it didn't leak. Part 1 Part 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CNnFRwHq90 |

To remove the silicone, use a oscillating tool with the flexible scraper attached. Then remove the residue with spray Goo-Gone.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong post. I also have those famous leaking dinette windows. I did put butyl tape around the window from the inside and also shot a small amount of Manus AM75 Clear where I could from the outside. I installed a new gasket from VTS and used the Manus around where the gasket meets the glass. No leaking yet. I fully realize that it may be a problem if the window breaks, but for now it's all about protecting all the new birch.

I fully realize that it may be a problem if the window breaks, but for now it's all about protecting all the new birch. From what I've witnessed so far, if the glass doesn't break after walking around in the trailer and then driving it around the block once or twice, you're good to go. I like to beef up the area below the window and to the side by adding some framing to keep that wall as stiff as possible so it doesn't put a lot of tweeking type pressure on the glass when the trailer is in motion. |
