You made me check the Suncoast Designers warranty.  It is lifetime to the owners that had the work done, and applies to workmanship, materials, and especially fogging.  I'll have to see if they claim snakes aren't defects.  Maybe I'll have to plan a trip back to Florida.
My coach spends the winter in Arizona and the summer under cover at Cape Cod-not extreme heat environments.

If you feel handy enough, Dave Root sells the supplies to do it yourself.  Before we had our Foretravel, I did all windows in our old Monaco.  Very easy and if you follow the procedure, they will never leak again.  When we bought our Foretravel, that was the first thing I looked at.  All of our current windows were redone using the same technique, never have to worry about them again.

Here's a thread describing my replacement of the entry door glass.  I would think the other windows would be similar.  I have heard the Peninsula Glass was not selling direct to consumers anymore.  You would need to check.

I also replaced all the seals between the window frames and the coach body last year.  It took about 2 hours per window to remove, clean, install new seals and re-install the window.  A second person was very helpful for the 5 minutes to remove and replace the window when there were no screws holding it in place.  I found that every window had at least one corner where the seal integrity was compromised.  Caused by a round window corner in a square cutout and seal creep (not the insulated glass seal creep).  If you can't see the seal material at each window corner flush with the outside frame edge, I'd be concerned.  The opening in the coach wall is very close at each corner.
