My wife is the best helper I've ever had and she loves working on this rig. Not many women like her. 
Tomorrow it the driver's side window then the window in the bathroom, we'll have to wait on the bigger windows when we get home and have the forklift.

Seeing that window out makes me think about my drivers side which has what to me is considerable wind noise. Thought maybe it was my mirror, but after adjusting it to an entirely different position that does not seem to be it. Just wondering if anyone else has ever removed and re-sealed a window in an effort to cut down on wind noise?

Brad mine is very noisy also I hope resealing helps but I doubt it. We'll know when we leave next month.

Mine has a spoiler in front of the moving side window. The pax side didn't have one and was noisy so I made one and it is quiet now. It was a piece of 1 1/2" sheet metal about 12" long which I bent on the brake so it sticks out about 3/4". I just copied the driver side.

Just an idea before fabbing anything, play with painters tape. Sealing different seams and transitions around the window area while having a long driving day. Dont forget about the weep holes.

Also on the huge peninsula windows, giant zip ties can be used under the sliding section to shim the window up and quieten noise. Smooth side, not rippled, side up of course. They are sometimes used for house duct work
