scraper
We removed the material stuck to the fibreglass with an electric vibrating scraper, it cleaned it right off for us.
Fein ( Germany ) makes an expensive one, now they are inexpensive, Chinese, at Harbor Freight. Keep the scraper ground sharp, hold it at a shallow angle and don't press too hard.
I discovered that tool by watching the guys at a trailer repair shop.

delamination
he above two posts would've made lots more sense if I had thought about it a bit more and recalled what we actually did. Obviously didn't glue the styrofoam directly to the outside fibreglass..the construction from out side in is fibreglass, luan, foam, then luan with pre-applied wallpaper. The vibrating scraper worked well for removing the old wood stuck to the fibreglass. Sorry for my confusion it's been a long time.

The picture you show on the whole window area shows de-lam above the window. I think you may have mis-diagnosed the problem, it had to start above the window.

No above the window is still laminated up to the roof, My window of good weather slammed shut, so I had to stop and install the window, and quickly seal all possible leaks on roof and seams. Got that done.
The wall came out ok in my opinion and is solid as a rock. Now just have to do it in the other three places I found. They are minor in comparison but i might as well finish what I started.
Time to Take it to the lake for the weekend, I'll get a pic when it's in the same position in the drive so you can see the difference.

I'm confused, what are the big blisters above the window in the picture you posted in #14 post of this thread. I don't doubt your word, but what in world are they?

Interesting fiberglass wall replacement with what appears to be wood product?

Looks like bead board panels ???
Lot of work, to be commended, wonder what Aluminum .060 4 x 8 sheets would cost.

I thought the same thing till I got close, it radiates from the window, still does, maybe the next round of epoxy will make it up there.
We had fun camping at the Lake, every one we met were very friendly.

Sure looks like the same type of problem above the window as below to me too.

Thats correct I really think the window leaked within minutes of leaving the factory. It filled the wall 19' even up from the window frame. I only had a short time to leave it open, so I haven't fixed the top yet. The house ran good, so I will keep fixing.
