You know what we did? We went to Lowes bought some smoke window tint cling sheets, cleaned the windows, cut to fit and applied them to the windows. You can't see the bubbles from the outside and it looks awesome!
You can still see them from the inside but for the money and time difference I don't care at this point.Posted 06-13-2008 at 09:31 AM by 76sovereign 
- Some of mine have "flaked" off and the pieces of ? film ? are resting at the bottom of the frame. I'd like to clean that out. Was the film you bought tint film or just cling on stuff that you can peel back off/on. 'Cause if'n I put that on the inside I think I'll still be able to see the junk. It may obscure the bubbles though. I have the 2 smaller ones flaking, and one big one bubbling.
Thanks for the reply !!Posted 06-13-2008 at 10:39 AM by rrbrinkley - It is the clingy stuff and yes You CAN still see the bubbles from the inside BUT at the cost of replacing the windows or knocking out one of the double glass panes, cleaning and replacing with the remaining pane of glass, I chose the Lowes window tint film.

I was going with the tint film on the outside for that same reason...but after talking to a window film expert...I was told that the UV protection for the film is in the adheivsive...so when you put it on the outside, there is no UV protection, and the film will soon deteriorate.
Also he told me that the first time I wash the trailer, there will be scratches in the film that will only get worse with time...
He also told me it is difficult to remove the old film when you finally get around to changing it...labor intensive.
So I've now thought of using perforated vinyl film, instead, and I'm checking that out now.
Let us know how the tint film 'wears' as the months go by...Posted 06-29-2008 at 06:28 PM by Mexray -
The bubbles are from the coating on the glass failing! Over time the coating starts to age and fail. Why you see the out side covers on airplains and high end coaches is to protect the glass from the outside from harmful UV light. There is no real way to fix than to replace the glass...
Note: may be more costly than worth it!Posted 07-22-2008 at 10:37 AM by vinstream
