I've now had GM coaches with both original windows and Peninsula (RV style) windows. I'd opt to change to the Peninsula windows if it was possible to access both sides of the window for installation. You get a better set of options, new gaskets, and screens.

Are they a direct replacement or do I have to frame it out?

Thx

It's my understanding that the unit they send will bolt right into the opening. They have patterns for most of the coaches we're running, and they can make up the windows to order with single/double pane and with or without screens and I believe in either silver or black. You totally remove the OEM, then these bolt in using new gaskets that come with. Ccall them for more information, as this may have changed since I called them about our 4106.

You can take the screws out of the frames to remove the slanted verticals. Then spread frames slightly to remove glass. I don't know if the seals are still available, but glass companies should know, atleast the larger outfits. Nowadays they silicone them in. You  won't be able to get that exact tint, but there are different shades available. Good chance the screws my break off and need drilled out. Especially if coach ran in the salt areas.
