srfndoc, Thanks for your response.

Maybe I'm just being thick.
This is a picture of the working end of the mechanism extended.
In this picture it shows the pinned pivot point and 1 of the pressed pivot points. The long arm is attached to the glass pane holder.
Where is this 3rd screw?

Here's pictures of 3 of the ones I changed out.
The ones I bought have 4 srew holes but all the correct profile.
I'll live with it.
And just for the record, I didn't "figure it out"...you explained it to me.
Thanks to sfrndoc I didn't take the whole damn window out to tear into it.
Thanks again.

Does anyone know the exact size of the screws that go all around the perimeter of the windows and holds them in? I want to order several boxes of stainless screws to replace my old rusty ones and also for my friends bus and don't wish to error.

The reason for the relight? I simply wanted it to pop back into my daily scanning, as I face some rebuilding this summer. Also, if there is new info to be shared.

So, I've had the jalousie's in my bus for several years now.
I've camped in light rain, but recently I was on a trip where it rained CATS AND DOGS.
I have a few windows (all three on the right side) that leak.
They don't leak super bad or anything but they definitely weap at the top of the frame.
I've isolated the leak to where the window assembly itself mounts to the spacer ring.
I've got them sealed with Mortite rope caulk right now.

I just pulled the window out to remedy my leaky window situation and noticed that the spacers now have dimples where the screws go in.

I'm wondering if the rope caulk not giving very much is causing my the soft aluminum in the spacers to distort, leaving voids between the two pieces and allowing water in.

I can beat the dimples down to where they are flat again, but I'm not sure about how I should be sealing them now?
Is regular caulk a better choice (as opposed to Mortite)?

Is it possible for you to post some pictures? It's hard to picture what you're describing.

Mr. Electric Wizard · Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2015 4:46 am Post subject:

I'll try to get some pictures that show what I'm talking about.
Basically it seems like the Mortite (which I think is the same thing as dum dum) is not compressing enough between the window frame and the inner spacer piece (that's screwed into the body of the bus).

When the window is screwed in (the screws you can see from the outside of the bus) it is pulling the aluminum and creating a dimple. These dimples being there shows that the inner spacer piece is not sitting flat with the window frame, at least the metal is not sitting flush.

Easy question.
Do you guys use Mortite for rope caulk (a la dum dum) or do you use something else?

This photo kind of shows what I'm talking about:

How much dum dum are you using? I use one "rope" on the outside of the body where the spacer goes and then two "ropes" on the outside edge of the outside frame as seen here:

I don't remember actually.
I do know what when I installed it, I installed it on the window frame, and not on the spacer piece (like you did).
I'll try it your way.
By the way, is the brand of dum dum you're using called Mortite?

srfndoc, can you post a photo of how you placed the dum dum (if you have one) of the corners on outside edge of the outside frame.
It doesn't look like there's enough room for two ropes.
