Hi, I need to remove the front small left hand window on the front of my 2003  Elddis Avante 505. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I need to remove the window so as I can send it away for a delamination repair. Many thanks.

At the end of the rail its sitting on there should be a "Stopper" take this off.Take off the window stays,then push the window fully up as far as it will go and slide off the rail .

when you push the window fully up to remove it could fall out of the slot in the rail.be ready to catch it.

Managed to get the window out and carried out a great repair using bondrite 1220 adhesive. Looks like it is stronger than the original bond. Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. All the best.
