Window seal distorted by freezing temperatures

[TheRVPhD]

I own a six-month old Coachmen TT. Water got between the rubber seal and the glass in one of the windows and distorted the rubber seal when the water froze (by pushing the rubber seal out). Now, the seal has separated from the glass and collects water (it is a quarter of an inch out). Is this normal? Should it be covered by the warranty?

Any advise or comments will be appreciated!

Can't you just push the seal back into the setting area? As for warranty ask your dealer but being only six months you would think its covered.

apply some trim adhesive and push it back in place.

I wish it could be that easy... the rubber seal has been distorted out of shape and, although it will go in, the distortion remains allowing for the accumulation of more water.

Coachmen Customer Service has offered to send me a new seal but no mention of the installation cost and as always, the dealer does not returns phone calls in the grand tradition of RV Customer Service practices.

Thanks for your input, however.

Dealer does not respond to phone calls and Coachmen CC offered to send me a free rubber seal but not to pay for the installation cost.

Thanks for writing.

Id accept the seal and take it to the dealer to have it installed. If they won't do it, Id look up a YouTube vid of how to do it and do it myself.

Actually Id probably just do it myself to learn how it is done and not bother with the dealer.

You can probably do it yourself better and faster than you can even drive to the dealer - and then you'ed have to wait for it.
