Front Window installation

Has anyone seen installation instructions for the opening front window.  Just received  the new window  today didn't see instructions.  I have an email into Elsie about this.

    That's an Elsie question. We have no instructions for that.

    Elsie is the best! I ordered another front window, too, but decided to tape the crack till the end of the season. Elsie told me it was very simple. Carefully remove the 4 handles. There should be 4 screws holding the window on. Unscrew these, remove window, replace with new window and reverse the process to install it. Never hurts to get it straight from the source, though. Let me know if I'm wrong. :)

    @driftless, I changed the category on this post due to @db_cooper giving such detailed instructions. I think we have instructions now!  Thanks @db_cooper!

    How much did the replacement window (that opens) cost?
  • driftlessdriftless Member Posts: 135
    @lauriehart, the cost of the window was $260 plus shipping.  We ordered it on the Nucamp store website.

    If moving from a permanently closed window, ypu will need to plan for a new day/night shade, too.

    My front window nearly fell out when I went to open it. I can't seem to figure out what's missing to hold it into the track. Is there a pic somewhere? I'm trying to see if I can simply replace the missing part, not the whole window assembly. Has anyone done this? Maybe a modification? TIA

    EDIT: I'm understanding more about the window assembly now and I see the "metal rail" is the aluminum rail that the top hinge of the window is seated in.
    @Sharon_is_SAM thank you for the link, however, I still can't make out what is missing on my window. It seems there's a metal bar from what @db_cooper is saying above, "There is a set screw holding the metal rail in place, so remove that. You have to open the window up very high to see the set screw, and also to slide it out to the side.  The metal bar will come out with the window, and will fall out when you get the window 3/4 out, so have the second person ready to grab that. Then have them help you finish sliding the window out."
    I see the screw, I see the window, but I don't see any "metal rail" that can fall out, so I'm thinking my "metal rail" is missing and want to see what it looks like to see if I can fabricate something vs buying a whole new window assembly!
