How to fix skylight/front window...

Hey there I am working with my family to fix up an old family airstream. We have a 31' 72 sovereign land yacht. So one of my first questions of many to come are in regards to the windows/skylights.

The skylights which are double panned seem to have old peeling window tint in the middle of them along with condensation; how do I pop these guys out to clean them up and reseal them?

One of the 2 curved windows in the front has built up moisture and mold between the 2 panes; what is the best way to go about popping this one out and cleaning it up to reseal it?

Those are called Vista View windows. Tons of threads on the subject- use the search feature and you'll find what you need. I believe you are fortunate, in that your '72 should have a removable ring on the interior. Pop that out, and you can pull out the inside pane and clean it up, and put it back together.

My '76 does not have said ring- I believe '75 was the last year. The ones like mine need to be broken or rebuilt.

Thanks Mixter! There is a ring in the interior we just didn't want to pull it off and try to pop them out without a little a research first.
