Sliding windows sit inside a narrow track.
Sliding camper shell windows are positioned in a track. Removing and replacing the camper shell window is relatively child's play with a humble socket or crescent wrench. Finding a replacement window requires ordering directly from the manufacturer or purchasing a custom group of glass from a glass shop. Cutting a advanced window from plexiglass is as well an desirable budget possibility. Replacing the window is accomplished by a unmarried mortal in less than one time, not counting the age spent locating and purchasing the replacement window.
Instructions
1. Wear a brace of thick gloves and remove any broken glass from the window track and camper interior. Lay the glass in a durable trash container to cut the danger of sharp edges.
2. Avail a socket or crescent wrench to remove the screws from the track. The screws are located on the interior side of most camper shell windows. Corner the screws in a sheltered area to prevent loss.
3. Pull the interior side of the track to produce separation from the window. Determine not pull the track off of the camper shell. A small gap is sufficient for the window replacement. Inspect the track and remove old glass and debris from the tight space. The track must have a clear slot for the new window.
4. Inspect the window seal for damage before installing the new window. Test the new window.
5. Slide the window handle to the open position. The handle is a piece of plastic that sits on the track. Place the new window in the track with one end aligned with the handle. The end will fit inside of the handle slot. Replace the screws and tighten them with the socket wrench. The seal is the rubber on either side of the track. Look for breaks and white rotting to indicate a poor seal. Remove the old seal with a putty knife and replace it with a new adhesive-backed seal. Adhesive-backed window seals are available through most hardware stores.
