I have condensation building on the inside of the double pane window (2001 H3-45 drivers side window). Not sure the cause but it continues to build and will not dissipate while driving or in direct sun. I cannot dry or wipe the condensation since it is between the two panes of glass. Any thought as to the cause or how to remedy the issue. Thanks.

Prevost does a fine job. If you watch the man work you would not argue with the price. The labor is worth it. The glass cost is too high in my opinion.

The job sounds easy, you be the judge.

Are you freaking kidding me? Prevost charged me $3k for a trap window replacement job.

Doug, They know a " High Roller " when they see one. Like Roger Foster say's " You just can't hide money. "

A couple of years ago we stopped at Suncoast to have them remove, repair and replace the door window in our coach. They knocked on the door at 7 am only to tell me that they couldn't (wouldn't) be able to help me since they might break the glass in the process.
We left there a bit unhappy.
I would call them and be specific as to what you need for service before making the trek.
Nice people, though.

I removed the glass in my sliding window myself and Nick Hessler helped me install the new one. I am a huge DIY guy, and I would NEVER do this myself if I lived near one of the mentioned places that does it. Not to mention, you get one drop of the Sikaflex on anything in the interior (like the seat) and you will hate life. Nick and I had stuff draped-off like a scene from "Dexter"!

Good afternoon Liam,

Could you tell me how you removed your window? Was it on the drivers side or the door?

Many thanks,
Howard Potter "Daysail"

I understand that Suncoast can't do windows with a curve. I don't have an XLII, but understand they have a curved insulated window.

Has anyone ever replaced an insulated front side window with a single pane piece of safety glass?

13054 It's easy to do yourself, but the glass is $350 from Prevost... ouch!

U know what Prevo gets for those drivers side windows for the LXs? Over 500 bucks for 2 of the 4 needed cant remember if they were the 2 stationary or the 2 sliding ones

Bill in Chickasha just had 4 new ones made at a local shop for his XL and gave me his old ones. Im going to have them fixed and carry them with me so I can swap them out for people when they need them.

Ron I had a local glass guy in Tampa area come out and remove separate clean and rebuild 2 of 4 on an Angola for 120 a piece. The prevo price on those is crazy.
