I've been fretting over the expense of taking it to an RV Dealer to do this and just knew I could do this. Thank you Mark Polk!!!! I not only think I can accomplish this, I know I can!
Great demonstration. I have several windows to reseal in our motorhome, more to reseal in our travel trailer, and one to replace in the travel trailer. This tutorial has made the job look really do-able. Thanks!
Best to do ALL repairs on your RV yourself. I dropped my travel trailer at an RV repair service and after 7 weeks I called asking how it was going and they said they were waiting on insurance to start the repairs! All they had to do was order and replace a window and the trailer mount light switch! For 7 weeks it has sat on their lot with nothing being done. I could have done the repairs myself quickly of and efficiently, but the trailer is still under warranty. I am just grateful it is in the winter months!
I just did this repair but used butyl sealant and Dynaflex 230 clear sealant. All went well until it rained overnight. I woke up to find the Dynaflex 230 turned into a gooey mess. It had not cured or even skinned over after applying it. I contacted DAP this morning to ask about this issue. They told me two things, it will take 24 hours for the product to cure otherwise this can happen. The second is that Dynaflex 230 is not recommended for use on vehicles due to repeated vibration. He actually recommended a 3m product though no name was given for applications like vehicles where it will be subjected to vibrations. Fortunately the butyl sealant protected the window from leaking.
This looks like and interesting fix! Thanks for the info. Quick question, I have a double pane window that looks like the seal between the panes is warped and leaking with water condensation inside. Do you have a video or a suggestion for that type of repair? Thanks for shsring!
Looks good so I thought I would grab the Seal-Tite™ Window Foamcore Kit. 99.99 on line from the manufacturer plus 29.99 tax. So far so good. shipping 49.99 for ground and up to 200+ for overnight. What a joke. What does this weigh, 300 lbs??
Quick question- did you use the white/clear sealant on the bottom of the windows as well? I heard you need to allow for drainage but that makes me nervous lol, can someone please confirm? Thanks!
Thanks Mark. Do you have a video on how to replace the glass or window assembly? I have 2 broken panes in a side window. Trailer is an 06, so seals are weathered. I'd like to replace the entire assembly with new frame and tinted glass, on both side of the trailer. Do you know of a connection to a manufacturer? The salvage yards don't have any stock of these. I would love to see you do a video of the process- swap out, although it would be similar to this process. Thanks.
I click a video and it's kinda off screen and starts playing, Im about to click another video and I start hearing Mark Polk talking, my hand slowly moves away from the mouse and I lean closer to my monitor with my pad and pencil :)
Now i see why trailers have so much water damage on the frames of the windows. If is was a house you would also put a sealant layer around the frame and then put the window in.
This product is out of stock. And just to say, someone commented that is was extremely expensive. I don't feel 101.46 is too expensive for a product that will enable me to reseal my windows myself and not have to depend on an expensive dealer cost.

great knowledge and very informative thnks
Good demo on what to do. The link in your video says the product is no longer available. I did see it is associated with Dicor a brand I trust.
Thank you Mike. I was wondering what stapler you used and staples for this demo?
Why is the shipping so much?

Hello Mark have you done any more videos of you restore campers
Hi Johnnie, no we haven't done any more. Currently I am working on restoring a 1956 Plymouth Fury.
Now i see why trailers have so much water damage on the frames of the windows. If is was a house you would also put a sealant layer around the frame and then put the window in.
that foam core stuff looks like the terminator version of butyl tape, Im going to give it a try

Good video, extremely overpriced product. I'll go another route so I can afford lunch when I'm done.
I hate clear sealant tho cause it always gets dirty and turns yellowy
