Happened to us just this morning! Hope y’all are well- your Auburn viewers in Alabama

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching but bummer on the window break. Hopefully our video was somewhat helpful.

[@dontask8979]

The hinge system in genius.
Well done

[@LuvSubbin]

This week we take a break from our travel series to show how we made a temporary patch for our rear window after our lawn service vaporized it with a rock thrown from their weedy whacker. And although I made this repair in my driveway, all tools and safety equipment are carried with us on the road.

I followed your steps and just fit a plexiglass window with hardware on my 23 ft flying cloud fb. Got the window ordered but it won’t be here for about 4 weeks. Now I won’t miss the summer camping season. You can’t look at the window and tell it is not the original. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching and we're super glad that our video helped you get your summer camping season underway.

[@garydietz8807]

I've taken off all of ours to put on a privacy film, once you figure out the special spot to hook the top onto it is very easy. I took all of the hardware off before putting on the film, a side benefit of the film is that it keeps out a lot of heat from the sun.

I had the same thing happen in the spring from a lawn mower. It took about weeks for the window to arrive. Done.

[@HUQIDAO]

Good job done. My window going to change this morning.

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching and good luck. The only tricky part (that required some editing) is just getting the window on the hinge just right...

[@rgarri6396]

Have you looked at your door to see if the frame is being cut by door? Look at line in door frame bottom.

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching! I have to admit that I'm a little confused by the question. No issues with the door or frame...

[@rgarri6396]

@@LuvSubbin a number of airstream doors hit the frame when closed at bottom. The trim on bottom of door cuts into the frame on trailer . You would see a black streak under the door. You could be lucky and it ok.

[@rickschultz728]

Surprised you didn’t lubricate the rubber gasket with silicone?

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching! We lubricate the rubber gasket with silicone as part of our spring maintenance checklist.

[@pswish7357]

Love the channel, do you have a story behind the CG Station Jonesport shirt?

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching! I have the highest respect for the Coast Guard and it was always my dream to serve. Sadly, poor eyesight kept me out. I was however able to participate with the Coast Guard Auxiliary for 26 years.

[@pswish7357]

@@LuvSubbin Sounds great! I retired from the CG after 20 years so thanks for your support.

[@cameronurnes8355]

Thanks, I just broke the same window and your fix looks good. I can do this. I can’t find the replacement window only. All I see are windows and frames together. Any suggestions where we can get the window. I have a 2010 flying cloud 23FB. THANKS

[@LuvSubbin]

Sorry for the slight delay in response - we have no WiFi. The best place to get the window is through an Airstream dealer. I would download the parts list from Airstream and give them the part number.

[@BrendaBrandley]

What did you use to take duct tape glue remnants off so you didn’t scratch your skin up?

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching! It just came off. If it didn't, we would use WD-40.

[@user-kj2th4lp6b]

I would love to know the dealership you ordered your window from. Please share.
Thanks

[@LuvSubbin]

Thanks for watching! We went with Colonial Airstream in New Jersey. We were in a crunch and needed the "best of the best". That's Colonial for our region. We live in Vermont so we are not close by.

[@kathyc1315]

I hope you got compensated from the team that broke your window. Or USAA? We are getting compensated when our roofers broke Mannequin Piss! On another note, I can't wait to be part of your travel video for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!

[@LuvSubbin]

The Lawn Service paid for the damages. Thanks for watching!

[@wanderingfore2290]

Weedy wacker 😜😂😂😂

[@CAL6465]

6 weeks

[@bluestarindustrialarts7712]

And hopefully your landscaper is paying or at least bartering services.....

[@LuvSubbin]

Yes - they were great and covered everything without a hassle.
