Purchased a new replacement window for our '89 Excella. When trying to install it the rivets in the new window popped out. We discovered the new window has a curve and the trailer connection mate is straight. Read about this same issue on a 2006 Forum. We removed and re-installed a couple original windows and they went in and out fine. I've emailed the company purchased from and am waiting for a reply. Any suggestions??

Don't know the proper name for it but it is the piece that allows the window to pivot in and out. I also removed the "stops" that limit the side to side travel of the strip. Long story short, this connector strip came out of the channel that it sets in and I am fighting a real uphill battle trying to get it back in so I can rehang the window. Any tips for installation appreciated.

Thanks,
