A couple of years ago I noticed water inside one of my side plastic windows

turned out we had a crack / split along the top, took window off and tipped all water out

next rain it half filled again, as taking off was slightly risky as in i could break it completely, so I then drilled 2 x tiny holes in the bottom and it drained slowly.

I did try some plastic sealant on the window but without success, but the split ran virtually right across the window

thought my drainage solution would make a permanent fix, but the window steams up a lot and then developed black mouldy spots inside

today at long last I got round to sourcing a new window, I had expected a much bigger cost, but sent this photo to Leisure Spares

within 10 minutes they called back , not in stock but can get, it comes complete with all catches and hinge , delivered £240 which I didn’t think was too bad and about half what I had guessed 👍


now hoping it arrives in time to take to a rally with competent and willing attendees to help swap it 😁👍

will be on to U.K. Leisure soon, just had a call from Leisure Spares who I had ordered from

They placed their order and have just now been told it is no longer made 🤔🙁

Back to square one for now, really annoying that a window that was being fitted so recently has been discontinued. But at least we can still use MH at least

Your post has reminded me that I also need to replace a window. I took a piece out of it sometime ago when reversing whilst the window was open!! (Idiot😡). However I retrieved the piece that broke off and used superglue to repair. It’s held up well but is noticeable so I think it needs replacing. I’ll go and see if I can find the descriptive label an then try and source.

Hopefully they will be able to sort you out.
UK leisure seem very good.
I’ve an issue with my new window, looks like dust or a pattern from release film, inside my new window. Emailed them and they rang back and said they will order me another.
I know things can have problems but it’s how the company deals with it make the difference.
