We have a 2003 Dolphin LX that the driver's side window has the rubber molded retention ring or gasket holding it in instead of the typical screwed clamp ring. We need to replace this window (thermopane gasket failure and fogging) and are having difficulty determining who manufactured it.

Hehr tells me "it might be ours, but the clamp mechanism sounds wrong. You will have to remove the window and confirm the number on the frame." Ronnie Bootes (at Monaco) tells me the only other manufacturer might be Se-Gi. No where on the window does it say either Se-Gi or Hehr, but the glass itself is JANEL DOT 233 M323 which comes back to Hehr.

Anyone had this problem and know how to id the manufacturer without removing the window? All suggestions and idea gratefully accepted!

I had a bedroom window on the same year model replaced 2 years ago due to window frame damage. I kept all the removed window frame and glass parts. I just went out to see if the frame had any id's. Only thing on it was a sticker with a bunch of numbers that seem to be related to NRV inventory. Don't know if these numbers would be meaningfull to you since it is an entirely different window from the drivers side. However it too does have the same clamping rubber that is used on all windows except the rear cap. At the time of replacement, NRV and the repair shop I used had a difficult time getting the right window. Finally I noticed the sticker on the damage window and got that to NRV parts. That gave them what they needed to get the right window sent out.

PM me if you need/want those numbers.

My 2001 has the same windows...not screwed in. From what I'm told, replacing the window is tricky...and a two man job.
Research this topic either here or on the Good Sam site...the proceedure is mentioned somewhere.

G'luck!
