Lost half of the kitchen window

[newmarokie]

We just got back from a twenty four hundred mile trip. The first night headed out I noticed the front half of the kitchen window was flopping. I fastened it down with gorilla two sided tape. By the time I got back that half of the window was gone. In retrospect, I should have taped it down more securely. Water under the bridge. I am now in search of a replacement. The only thing so far that I have found is a complete replacement from Newpar, $987. Does anyone know of options from third party vendors?

I think I saw your post on Newmar Owners forum? If not, then there seems to be a rash of flying windows! I wish I could help but alas, I can't. But good luck!

Yes, it is just my window for now. In continuing to research, I realized the $987 window on Newpar allows you to click on it and just half of the window assembly is available. I am going to call tomorrow to verify which one I need (it is not terribly clear). There is a $125 difference between what they are calling left and right. I am sure I need the most expensive one (how my luck goes).

Contact Lippert. (I know, no one likes them), but since they bought out Hehr, they made an entry door window identical to the original for our coach for a little more than half of Newmar's price shipped. They will ask for the number that is on a label on the inside trim ring, some pictures, and they will tell you if the window is in their database.

I believe items from Newmar include shipping so if that's the case, it may ease some of the pain. Sometimes it's just easier to order it and be done with it. Sorry to hear of the nonsense, I guess you could try and fight for a warranty replacement but they may tell you "this is the first we've heard of this."
