I have a rear bath. I dont think I have much rear sag if any at all. The rear frame of mine is in much better condition than the front was. I think maybe a previous owner left the door open for extended amount of time as most of the frame corrosion is in that general area.

We do have vista views. Ours were really bad. The sealant or butyl caulking that was used between the plexiglass interior pane and the glass outer pane was oozing all over the window. I have taken one out already to see how hard it would be. It wasnt too difficult. Once I had it out I noticed that there was a film on the inside of the glass. Almost like a tint but a tint wasnt very noticeable. It was flaking off so I took a scraper and removed the rest. What Im not sure of is (a) was this film just a tint or UV blocker or (b) a lining that would help keep the glass together in the event that it cracks. I havent figured out yet how I am going to out these back together yet. I will post pictures of the frame with the window out and the glass when I get home tonight.

The reason I removed the belly pan was because the thought of working on the frame while trying to balance myself on the crossmembers didnt sound too appealing. With the belly pan off, I can stand on the floor and comfortably get to any place on the frame. I think member malconium had a thread where he did a floor replacement without removing the belly pan. Ill see if I can dig that up.
