I'm anxious to see how it turns out for you. This could be a good help for the UHaulers here that are frustrated with the side windows.

Pre starting screws on trim ring before installing. Additionally, I put the cover back over tape until I test fitted the window.

Nice, it looks like it came with a screen. Did the supplier make a right and a left or are both sides the same?

[Higginra]

Exterior shot after install but before cleaning window to remove tape I used to hold in place as I did this by myself. You will note the window could not be any taller as it goes from top edge to bottom edge.

Looks nice. Good job!

[Higginra]

I will be replacing the right window also now that the left one is not leaking. I will post the progress. When I get it.

I am ready with the Butyl tape. That seems to be the fiberglass is not square when ot was made. I will send pics as I complete it. I found the screws later taped to the Bubble wrap.

[Higginra]

I will let you know as I am ordering it tommorow.

[Higginra]

I just received the right one so I will be installing it also. I had it made to the slightly larger than the other side as I noted before. When it warms up I will take pictures. Also I think I may have forgot to note I removed the foam seam that the window comes with it. Then used the butyl tape.

Robert, thanks for the follow up. Is this window wider? Can you share costs?

[Higginra]

Wow. You did great.

Let's hope these windows continue to be available for future needs.

Maybe someone should order a bunch of these to resell, probably get a quantity discount. This is a good price for a window that will fit the opening correctly. I paid around $150 for a Scamp window and then had to buy a piece of aluminum to adapt it, so close to $200. However I did end up with a jalousie window. Robert, I don't recall if you posted this, but can you give the company name and contact info for where you got the windows. This will be valuable information for other Uhaul owners that need new windows. In my research for windows I couldn't find any custom made to fit for less than $300.

Should Mike put this in his Uhaul parts list for future reference? I sure spent a lot of time on a window search before those NOS windows became available, and before I bought a Scamp side window [which I wouldn't recommend as an option compared to what Robert got].

I think that I gave the information to Mike. But, I agree, it is important information, as we get a new UHauler every few months looking for windows.

I plan to up date every 6 months. Will put it in my spreadsheet at home and post with any other up dates at that time.

Note that this is an old thread from 2013. As I recall the vendor did not want to make any more of the windows. Check with Motion Windows, I heard they will make custom windows but may be expensive. Some good info on the Uhaul Facebook group
