Entry door frameless window sliding down

[pstandiford]

We have a 2018 Thor Chateau Super C. The entry door has a frameless window. I didn't realize that there are actually two pieces of glass in this window. The outside glass is the dark window. The inside glass is attached to the outside glass with what appears to be a sticky gasket. Last year we noticed that the inside glass was sliding down. Then the top started to pull away. We put some tape in place to hold it to keep it from falling out. I need to find out what this gasket looking thing is and where can I find a replacement. Or, is there a better way to resolve the issue? Like maybe a glass to glass epoxy and just glue it in place. Any ideas? Excuse the photos. The sun was in the wrong position to get good photos.

Frameless windows

I recently had to repair a second frameless window on our 2017 Venetian A40. The metal plate attached to the interior of the glass came off. Fortunately, both occasions were discovered while the coach was parked. I am aware that some similar issues were reported when RV's were in motion. The...

Same thing happened to me a number of years ago. The fix was some black RTV and duct tape. 5 minute fix.

That is a seal glass and should be done by a glass company so they are one unit. I had a mobile RV tech that does windows come out to the house and replace the out dark glass I broke when parking the Rv.

We took ours out so we could see at intersections.
We have a bubble wrap piece to fit for privacy when needed because the spousal unit doesn't understand someone would have to 7'5" to see inside.

Remove it and you'll be surprised how often you use it at intersections.

It serves no purpose other than privacy.

Ours is a class C and the entry door is about 10 feet behind us and the window is about 3 feet above our head so there is no way we could see through it while driving. However, we might decide to take it out. Although I don't think people would have to be 7 foot tall to see in at an angle so we would need something to block the view.

I did some research and one link said RTV would not work for glass to glass applications. Another said it is used for automotive applications. Good to hear from someone who has actually used it. What was the cure time on this?

There is also windshield adhesive sold by the tube on amazon

You could always mask-off around it and spray-paint it. I did that to our bathroom "sky light".

Just to quash a rumor:
Silicone works well on glass.

I didn't count the minutes. I put the RTV on the glass, put it in place and used duct tape to hold it stationary. Next day, I took off the tape.
