Motorhome Foggy Windows and Dangling Seals



Dealing with the Foggy Windows Issue in Your Motorhome?

Windows fogged? Seal dangling? This is a problem SeGi brand windows had in many older model motorhomes (including Country Coach brand and other highline brand motorcoaches). 

Why it happens. Country Coach and other brand highline coaches used Se-Gi windows which developed this foggy window issue. These SE-GI windows appear frameless in design. The assemblies were made from an interior of laminated glass and an exterior tempered glass. The two glasses were separated by a seal around the perimeter. The entire aluminum window frame was mounted to the coach frame by either mechanical fastening or by both mechanical fastening and polyurethane adhesives.  This fogging of the windows happens when the seal on the double pane fails and moisture gets between the two panes.

A repairable issue which many service centers can handle, one service center which gets quite a few of these service projects each year is Premier RV of Oregon. Premier has a service technician on staff that is quite adept at addressing this foggy coach windows issue. 

What's the fix? Basically it involves removing the affected windows, taking them apart, cleaning and resealing, and reinstalling them. (Or if more feasible replacing a window.)
