NEW WINDOWS! Well sort of...

I've been preparing for new windows in the Boler for some time. The old ones were yellowed and cracked. They also leaked... So I ordered new gaskets and lockstrip from Scamp travel trailers.
I was going to take this project on as a DIY, but later chickened out and had an auto glass company install them for me.

The good news - They look amazing, they don't leak, they are really clear, and I opted for Lexan which is suppose to be much stronger than plexi.

The bad news - I went out in a rain storm the other night. I was checking for leaks...there were none..BUT the front window has a small crack in the lower left corner of the window :(

I'm wondering if the window may have been too tight? Or possibly the weight of the upper bunk caused issues when I reinstalled it?

At any rate this Lexan stuff is not suppose to crack. So back it goes tomorrow for a replacement window. The guys at the auto glass place have been really great to work with.

A photo - Just cause...they really are a thing of beauty =)
