Applause for Quality (not)

Years ago there was a similar complaint with the roof vents sticking.

The solution was to wipe the gasket surface with silicone or talcum powder to prevent the mating surfaces from sticking together.

Appalling that you used painter's tape instead of clear tape.

You can (and should) with either talc or slide seal spray. Also helps to exercise the windows periodically and if you feel any resistance, use your hand to help push it open.

Our PINNACLE had 8 frameless windows, I had 1 roller out of the 16(2 per window) jump the track and possibly because I over entended it. Once I fixed it and watched how I opened them, no more problems.

I think you will find that the majority are not having problems.

Unless if the one window that fails is your window, problem!

I have lived by this and so far no issues with the windows. I suppose you could treat the rubber with something to reduce the sticking.

I treat mine at least once every year. Window seals and roof vents will get sticky, you can feel them or hear them popping loose when operating them. If I hear or feel that “pop” I know it’s time to treat them again. I use 303 seal treatment.

I put silicon lubricant around the window seal. The windows open fine but it's still best not to over stress the arms by forcing the window out with the handle.

I've got 2 boys, 4 and 5... I don't think my windows have a chance.

My 2015 White Hawk came with the rollers off of the track from the factory. The first trip out I saw the window opening and closing in my side view mirror. So much for a dealer inspection (CW). I repaired it myself instead of leaving it for 3-weeks. At the same time I repaired the doors for the under-bench storage that had fallen off. Screws need to be installed into wood, not between two pieces of wood. As for the shower having the cold, hot lines switched, I just swapped the labels as I didn’t want to get into running a new line behind the walls. Just the fun of owning a TT.
