Driver side window rebuild?

My driver side window is fogging up on the inside of my 1998 fleetwood discovery. I want to rebuild the window and have seen several you tube vids on what to do. My question is.... the the rubber track that the window slides in is all broken and dry rotted and letting the window wobble in the track and letting air in while driving. I have called Fleetwood and been on line every where looking for the track with no luck. Has anyone replaced the track that the window slides in and if so where did you find the track? Best i can tell from talking with Fleetwood i think its an Atwood window.

I'd give RV Fog Dr a call and ask to talk to Lee, the manager. I suspect they have or could obtain the material you are needing and may sell it to you. Or perhaps tell you what and where to buy it.

But, if you are anywhere close, I'd see if they wouldn't do the whole job for you, not just de-fogging.

The did all 13 of our windows @ $200 each, including the driver's (with 3 separate double panes of glass). I drove 700 miles to have them do it, and I'm glad I did. Having watched how they did the work (from easy window removal to cleaning and sealing and reinserting it), there is no way I could replicate their quality.

I second what Al n Cindy said......had them do several of my windows on a previous coach several years ago and they were great.

thanks guys...after sever calls to different places and getting "you need to call this company" I finally got a hold of Duncan Systems, Owned by Lippert Co. I spoke to a lady named Sue who was very easy to work with and knew the parts I was looking for
(I think). I got the parts in yesterday and they look to be correct but haven't had time to get the window out and apart yet. as for calling RV Fog Dr that is the the next step if I cant get it fixed. I am close to them (1 Hour) but I like to fix the problem myself if I can. I also will only have about 40 bucks in the the rebuild if it works. Fingers crossed...
