Front / rear window removal on a 78'

I am currently in the process of replacing all the window gasket material on my 78' Soviergn. I am done with the (6) side window and it was no problem. I have zip dee awnings installed on the front and rear of the Airstream and if the windows at the front and back are similar (i suspect they are), my question is: Do I need to remove the awnings to remove the window. I ran out of time this weekend, but I thought I would see if anybody else has encountered this problem. It looks like the the window will hit the zip dee and not allow me to raise it enough to get the window to drop out of its track.

Eric

It depends on exactly where the awning was mounted, vertically, as to the window hitting it or not.

The small windows awnings are easily removed, if they are in the way.

For exact instructions, call Zip Dee at 800-238BEST.
