So I gave up on the original windows, I tweaked the frames too much due to all the screws breaking and trying to get it apart. So I picked up new ones from inland RV this morning (3 hour round trip) inland RV was the cheapest at $195 per window vs. $400 per window at vintage trailer supply. These are a single pane of glass so I don't have to worry about stuff getting between the glass anymore.
There was a little spot in the corner where there was nothing behind the holes so you can see my fix for that. This side turned out perfect. Into the the next one.
P.s. If your arms are long enough, you can do this yourself.

I can't decide if I like your deadbolt or your new front windows the best. Both look pretty darn good.

Inland RV is such a famous place for us Airstreamers. I have purchased plenty of stuff from them. I do wish they would update their webpage so I could order stuff at midnight on line. More convenient for me.

Hey sweet angels, can someone please post a somewhat close-up picture of the bottom edge of their 1970's door frame from the outside, specifically of the two bottom corners. I may have sandwiched everything wrong when I put the shell back on

After struggling with the the wing windows, I can sympathize. I managed to get mine back together, but with only one sheet of glass. New one looks to be a much simpler design.

Hey Maggie! That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much. Soooooo, it looks like my model is quite different. It seems like they changed a lot in 2 years (mine is a 72) I don't have the exposed frame running up the sides, the skins cover the door frame on mine.

Just dropped my baby off to get polished!!! And had her maiden voyage! It drove great with the Timbren axles. It was way underweight because it's empty, but still didn't get raddled to death.
