Sticking Window Solution

I've read some posts on here about the windows sticking, especially when the trailer is new. I use one of the suction devices sold for dent pulling, and it works great. I go out side and attach it to the bottom of the window in the center, give it a very light tug, and the window opens right up. The things are really inexpensive, and there's no risk of damaging the window.

I use a old plastic casino card on the edges and works great. Size of a credit card.

We wipe down the windows and lightly coat them with baby powder. Has worked very well for us. Someone else said to use 303 protectant, but haven't needed to.

When the window is stuck, use a credit card to gently release the window from the weatherstripping, then spray a silicone lubricant on the weatherstripping and you can forget about using the credit for at least two or three months.
