Clouded window glass

[dewdev]

I know there has been a bit of discussion on replacing window glass in hte past, but the search function did not find what I was looking for, so I would like some input from those in the know.

One of my fixed (not slider) window thermoglass panes is clouding between the panes. I am guessing there is a break in the seal between the thermopanes.

Has this happend to anyone?

Has anyone been able to have just the glass replaced?

How would I get this fixed window removed to take to a repair shop?

Can any glass shop do the replacement?

Thanks

Try a PM to SeaDawg.

I know that she had this issue and a "local" (Florida) place solved the issue for her.

@dewdev , I have a different reason to remove the glass, but have the same question on how to remove the glass. Believe the previous owner might have put darker tint on Ollie's windows, now they have etched window spots. I'm thinking about replacing them.

Thanks for starting the thread!

Additional information on our 2015 LE2:

Contacted Oliver and they said my window is a Lippert brand and they gave me this link:

Here's a photo of one of the identification tag on one of our windows:

Started searching on the Lippert website, if I find good video for window removal, I will post it.

Oliver windows, how I hate them let me count the ways. Like others here I am now searching for replacements for the original windows. The only good thing I can say about them is they let a certain amount of light in along with an equal amount of water when it rains or snows. Otherwise they are a relic out of the early part of the 20th century. 

Just spent part of the last week cleaning and disassembly only for it to rain the next day with leaks galore coming into the cabin. Pipe cleaner wicking had no effect whatsoever.  New mattress was soaked. Imagine buying a $100K car or truck and having to deal with such nonsense. 

I don't have a solution yet but am searching. To the OP I imagine one would have to completely take the entire window assembly out of the cabin to remove the stationary portion of the window. Surely a local window and glass business could repair one of the components if taken out of the Oliver and delivered to them?

Good luck @dewdev with your repairs.
