Re: [A/S] front curved windows
Tim,
That is an impressive description of the right way to replace those corner
windows. We usually take that clamp strip between the corner and center
window by taping it up (not down) with a wood block and hammer.
You method for taking the frame out is ok. Drilling the rivets is not the
best way to go. Once done and the old window is out you have a weakened skin
to remount or replace the window. Knocking off the old buck rivet heads,
pulling the window frame and grinding the rivet stems leaves a smooth solid
skin to work with.
The other alternative is to buy replacement windows from an Airstream
dealer, about $275 ea.
