Fixing fogged up windows

Sebulba · September 09, 2025, 02:51:59 PM

Hello all,

My door window and now the window to the left of the driver's seat are both now fogged up. The one in the door also has one pane cracked.

I think I want to just make them both single pane.

Can anyone give me some insight? To remove these, do I remove the inside frame screws, (second picture) and then the window will come out.

Thanks

Seb

Well, no one answered, so I figured it out on my own and will show what I did in case someone in the future needs to know.

It turns out the aluminum trim pieces I thought would work to remove the window was a no go.

What I did was pull out the rubber pieces on the inside of the window. I used some plyers and gently got an end started and then the pull right out.

To reinstall, wiped the insert part of the rubber with begatale oil from the kitchen and once you get it started, with a little finesse and holding your mouth just right it goes right back.

Since I removed one layer of glass, I used some black HDPD plastic and made strips to compensate for that.

Hope this will be of help for someone.

If your seals are not rotten most glass co's can check for a leak repair it and fill it with Argon or Krypton gas and fogging goes away.I just had a 5x5 repaired the glass outfit charged me $125.00 ,a $100.00 was for the service call, mine was filled with Argon gas

I explored that and found no one willing to do it. Then one of the panes cracked, so I just figured I'd make it single pane. These were the only double pane in the bus, so no great loss.

It sure is nice to be able see out them!

No, I know that. It was ok, when I was looking for someone,then it cracked, so I just figured I'd go single pane.

There is always an RV glass company at most of the big RV rallies that specializes in this service. They will remove the window, take it to their mobile shop and return it later in the day or the next day. But look for them early, as they get booked up very fast. The Quartzsite RV Show usually has a one or two working that show.

Otherwise I would think any reputable glass store should be able to repair it.

Thanks Gary, I've never been to any of these events, but good to know.
