Ok, I got my windows today. Looks like I can only really use one of them, the end cap one. It was a crap shoot for the other one, but the second window only cost me an extra $40 shipped. Maybe I'll ponder eBaying it.

I do also as an added bonus have a vista view window, similar in size to the CCD/SE fixed kitchen and bathroom windows.

So, I get the windows and first order of thumb is to clean 'em up. They cleaned up really nicely. Oddly enough though, this was a scraped 2004 Classic. Upon removing some of the caulking (I believe it's SilkaFlex), the top of the caulk is firm, I cut into it with a razor and as I am peeling it back, it's tearing off like string cheese. What REALLY caught me by surprise was that the caulk line about center deep from the top was still somewhat wet. Yes, it was still all gooey. I would have thought that since it was an '04 most, if not all the caulk would have been cured fully by now. Maybe not stiff cured, but dry and somewhat flexible cured.
