On my RV trip this Easter weekend, I replaced my door glass.
I didn't care for the mottled opaque glass. When driving, I often wanted to check that direction for traffic at angled intersections.... and while "camping" I like to see outside....
So I ordered a piece of tinted and tempered glass to fit.
My source had two thicknesses available. Unfortunately the thinner single strength is a lighter tint than I wanted, but I had some tinting film left over from a home project and it turned out fine.....
I found that the factory sealant around the window wasn't adhered very well. It didn't appear to be leaking, but it wasn't great. I guess a small leak wouldn't much matter anyway with a foam core door....
Anyway, my first time working with butyl tape. Not too bad, trimmed it up looking nice, the noticed that the next day it's oozing out a bit, so another trim and the next day oozing out a bit more..... Maybe I tightened the screws a bit too hard....
Anyway, I'm very happy with the result, except now I might have to come up with a curtain for times when we might need privacy. for now, a towel draped over the screen works....
