Windows
We just replaced 3 of our big fixed windows (the big rear, one rear side and the one behind the recliners) and 3 of the operating ourselves. All due to fogging from lost seals.
All of the window frames and interior trim were left in place, removing only the glass from the frames. What an easy job. It is a two person process in that once the rubber seals are removed, one person needs to be inside to press against the glass while the other is outside to catch it as the sealant grip is broken. Then both lift the glass unit out on the larger ones.
Once the old glass is removed from the frame, cleaning of the old sealant is a pain but not that difficult. Take care not to loose any of the spacer shims on the sides or top. New bottom shims should be installed as the old ones may have collapsed from the weight of the glass sitting on them.
I would suggest that a trial fit of the replacement glass should be made in order to check the top clearance. One of ours had a little excessive clearance and we had to re-shim the bottom to make the top fit properly.
Donna with Hehr has been great. She has provided written instructions and has followed up on making sure everything worked. She works 4 days, Mon-Thurs, 6:30-2:00.
