Re: Vent window frame

Well, I just did this on my 55.2 a few weeks ago. I had a helper, my wife. She held the main window while I put the vent in. On the gen 2 there's a metal tab the length of the main window. That has to be slid backwards and then the vent window can be put in. Again, this is a gen 2 so I don't know how much, if any that helps.

Re: Vent window frame

Figured out how to do it, I used foam rubber to center the window and hold it, then put the vent frame in a lot easier. On a 53 the window has to go in first. It looks like the 55.2 the vent goes in first, so very different. Thank anyway Randy
