glass replacement

Post by tgeremia »

Hi,
Sold my silverton and bought a 1973 32' Trojan sedan. I have a forward broken sliding window on both the stabord and port sides. Keep staring at it but keep drawing a blank on how to get the darn things out. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty certain the windows on our F36 come apart by disassembling the bottom edge of the frame. There are surface screws that hold in the frame for the sliding screens. then, you slide the window all the way in one direction and slide out the "H" channel plastic track it rides on around the edges of the glass. Once this track is out, the glass should tip out.
Also, order new "H" channel from the sponsor of this site. Its not very likely that you will be able to get old brittle "H" channel back in when you get the new glass.

You need to remove the upper and lower plastic channel, then you can tilt them out.
Season is short, we make the best of it.
