Title: Door Window Repair
Post by: RvingJeff on April 18, 2023, 10:22:17 am
Have a lot of water in the door window. Seen all the examples of repairing on my own. I called around to all the glass shops in my area (Toledo, OH) to just get an idea of having someone repair it if I brought it in to them. No one will touch it, only replace.
I thought I would check here if anyone that did their own and have any of this product left over and willing to sell.
I believe this is the right thickness for the door window.

66ft is a lot but I guess it will keep if sealed back up.
I welcome any suggestions and advice.

Window seals DIY (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=40588.0)
Seal is 3/16". 20/20 hindsight my plan is to have the same shop build new windows. With the water damage it is impossible to clean. And I tried. New windows also can be 99.9%UV resistant and this would be the time to add tinted glass IMO. The shop that reassembled mine cut the 1/4" down with a razor blade. Looked perfect to me. But I would order everything and have ready when I replace. Also glass is tempered so it must be cut, edges must be radiused for me then tempered

I replaced the glass myself.  I think I heard that Peninsula Glass was no longer selling to the public but worth a check.
