....so after 6.5 weeks on the road & nearly 3,500 miles I finally got back to Suncoast Designers yesterday to get the windows un-stuck...in about an hour they managed to hammer, pry, chisel, & tweak 'em so I could finally get all 8 windows open. They also used a very interesting item, to wax the tracks, CRL Tube Wax, comes in a stick tube, they used a wooden stick to dig into it then their fingers to moosh it down into the tracks...said good preventive maintenance would be to use it about once a month in every window. Also said some of my tracks are bad, driver's window track is slipping forward & catching on some kind of obstacle, that needs replacement, a couple of other windows need new tracking.  One more item on my already growing list for FOT in February when I go back for FBP....

 


Interesting about the CRL tube wax.  It's a cutting wax used to lubricate objects when sanding, sawing, drilling, grinding, etc. during manufacturing.  Would never have thought of using something like that.

CRL stands for CR Laurence.  They are a huge international fabrication company.  If you have frameless glass shower doors at home then the chances are good that the hinges are CR Laurence.

This is my second rv with all Motion windows from the state of Washington.  The previous Signature we had were installed in Washington at their glass shop, the current FT at Motion.  I have had no issues, none, with either the windows or the installation.  No snakes, no wind noise, no leaks, no binding, locks work easily, solar reflective glass is wonderful.  I would go out of my way to only use Motion windows in the future because of the wonderful experience I've had with them.
