When the window is installed the rivets are not visible. Darrel Thanks. My situation has become a nightmare. I have decided my frame has been modified at some time. The riveted plate system I have allows movement of the frame making a permanent seal impossible. On the back side of frame you can see where a grinder was used to I assume someone cut off the bracket system you have where rivets are hidden. If you can recall could you describe the back side of the frame and how the brackets/rivets are constructed? Is there a piece coming off the frame at 90 degrees? Frames from any year of the WT321 are no longer available. I looked for junk yards but no luck. I'm going to try Winnebago corporate to see if maybe a detailed drawing is available of the frame. If I can get that maybe I can have mine welded back to get some rigidity. All thoughts are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As a 'Plan B', you might think about finding a new or used front window from another RV that is slightly larger so you could enlarge your opening to accept it. 'Plan C'? Do away with the window completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrocrider Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Goal now is to replace total window assembly. Unable to source from Winnebago. Asked if they could tell me original manufacturer of windows on any of the WT321 Warriors. They have no record. Checked with following RV window manufacturers: Kenro, Hehr, Clear Vision, Duncan Systems (Atwwod), All-Rite, Motion. All-Rite $600+. Motion $230 plus crating & shipping. 5 week lead time. Anybody have experience with Motion in Washington state? Rough dimensions to fill in RV: 12 1/8"H x 59 1/8"W x 7/8"D. 2 1/2" radius corners. Most manufacturers were unable to the build the 2 1/2" radius corners and/or the 59+W. I have some filon damage from water leak from window. Looking at epoxy injection system from delam.com. Also scrapping out junk & spraying in foam. This would hopefully stabilize the rotted area. Welcome comments. Thanks for any input.

darrel Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Have thought about eliminating the window. We never use ours. Its covered with silver bubble wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrocrider Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Use CAUTION if buying from Motion RV windows. Get a quote, place and pay for an order for one window. Get a call back from sales manager who initially quoted window saying this is not what I need. I ask why & his explanation is "trust me, I know what's best. This is the type window you want. I say no I'm familiar with the window type you are proposing and I decided against it because I want the thicker frame on the unit I ordered. He gets irritated and says he's cancelling order. I say fine. Edited April 1, 2017 by vrocrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
