Fixed window!

The side window at the driver's seat has had some fogging in it (at times), and when it is bad, could cause issues in our ability to use the left side mirror, so we had wanted to get it repaired. We had a business card from a fellow that had provided window repair out in Quartzsite in 2021 (we didn't have a problem then!), but we were having difficulty getting in touch with him. Finally, on Monday, Carl reached him, and he agreed to come out that morning.

"Before" picture -- but there wasn't any fogging in the window on Monday morning. The window has 3 panes in it -- the two at the bottom - the one to the left is a slider with a screen, the one with the problem to the right, and then there is one at the top too. The problem window had a streak on it from being dirty, but the fogging wasn't obvious on Monday. These windows are dual pane which are good for keeping the temperature inside the rig consistent, but are subject to having fogging issues when the seal gets broken.

The team took the whole window frame out...

...removed the problem pane, cleaned between the panes, and re-sealed the dual pane...

... replaced the window into the frame and the frame onto Gracie.

Sealing on the exterior.

They were able to get the job done in about an hour -- we're glad to have this completed as we were concerned that the fogging could show up on a travel day and cause us issues in being safe while driving.
