    Slideout window lock

    Can't believe we are the only ones with this problem. Both slide out windows now have the plastic spring loaded window lock fractured. Both sides of bottom window which slides up and down to allow ventilation are broken. Plastic pin locks into aluminum window frame and we all know which part fails first. Do I need to remove complete window and frame to replace or just inside flange to pull out bottom glass? Where can I buy 4 new ones and 4 spares as I'm sure these will break again?

    Thanks for any guidance.

    Sorry, don't have any guidance, but how old is your rig? Ours is 2 years old and we've had no issues with those windows. I wish some of the other windows worked as well as those do.

    RT1149--since you're a site sponsor may I suggest you fill out your signature line? That will help those that want to respond but are unsure of your setup. See my signature below as a starting point.

    To edit your signature, click on SETTINGS (it's at the top, right side of the webpage) and then on the SETTINGS page that subsequently opens look on the left side and you'll see a link to EDIT SIGNATURE. Click that and edit away. Any questions--fire back!

    (Sorry--I can't help with the window question!)

    Did you ever get these replaced? Just back from a trip and I broke two of ours. Looking for parts? And replacement instructions.

    These pieces of cheap plastic sound like the same thing my Momentum 25G has in the sliding patio doors that fill the ramp opening. Mine were broken from the get go but I didn’t realize what the problem was until I examined the sliding window more closely. My dealer, Woody’s RV, doesn’t think the pieces are available from GD, let alone directions on how to replace them. Frustrating....

    Were you able to fix this terrible design or find replacement parts?

    Just received the parts yesterday. I believe I have to disassemble the entire window frame so I’m going to wait until I have more time to complete. I’ll repost when complete to let people know how in-depth the work is. Click image for larger version.

    That’s great. I was able to chat with a Lippert representative a few minutes ago who sent me this image for my Patio Door sliding glass. And a price list; I am happy!

    We’re you able to find a good way to install these pieces? I am struggling trying to figure out how to remove the plastic locking pieces.
