Dinette window loose/rattle

Just picked up the Isata 5 from the factory. The window is rattling and even has air coming in the bottom. The glass seems to be rattling against the interior frame. This is probably because the factory had to remove the complete slide a couple of times during the repair. My question is this safe ore is there a risk of it working loose and falling out?

I would recommend you put some tape around window to secure it just in case.

Removing the slide doesn't have much to do with the window...we normally pull the whole thing intact, no reason to pull the window.

The window should not be rattling. While some have in the past, they were not the fixed pane. The fixed pane shouldn't be moving...make sure you don't have a window open...that causes pressure build inside if there is not a way for the air to escape.

No windows open.
The bottom of the fixed pane glass is simply not adhere to anything. This was notice with in 2-3 miles down the road when leaving Elkhart. The glass part of the window is basically vibrating with a small amount of air coming in. If you push slightly you can see daylight. I have an email into your service department asking if it’s safe from falling out while traveling down the road.

I certainly would do as others have said...tape it down to be safe until it can be corrected. LCI might actually provide the adhesive they use and it might not require a window swap, but I'll let service answer that.

I attached 2 industrial strength glass holders attached to the inside of the window and have them anchored inside.

Do you happen to know where the fuse for the camera is? Didn’t have power when I picked it up. Thanks for the responses.

most everyone is gone this week as it is our shut-down week for plant vacations.

If it is inline and near the device, then it is near the camera video switcher which is below the metal plate between the seats...depending on year.
