Where would I find the Peninsula logo on my windows? Now I'm concerned....if they are not Peninsula how do I find out what they are? There is a little logo on my drivers side window that says "INT-TEMP"....would that be the maker?

the pennisula logo would not be on the glass, but on the frame somewhere.
below is a picture of the original drivers side window that is in my 90. i replaced all the windows except for this one and the passenger side. on my 90 these two were pennisula double pane windows and the rest were single pane Hehr windows.
i did find a pennisula log on the center bar upright on the newer windows, but in this picture didnt see one. my 90 is in storage so when i go over there this weekend i will look again.
but, the style they used was very distinctive so they can tell from a picture.

I'm hoping Steve Ward, Prarieschooner, will chime in.....he probably knows what kind of windows we have.....our coaches were both finished the same month of 1982 I believe, and look almost identical, so I'm assuming he has the same windows as I do.

I ran into this problem with my 74' not sure if the same window but I had to remove the window and disasemble. I had broken glass and the felts were shot. I purchased the felt from JC Whitney first but wasn't right then went to newell for the felt channel, but really had problems finding the glass. Finally had some cut from some very old stock from a local glass company.. Used all they could find.. ended up with the drivers window being the only one that would slide like it should.. the rest were 3/16 and I had the glass guy sand the edges to fit... didn't leak but very hard to slide.. My fix was going to be replace the windows with Pensulia .. sold the coach so that didn't happen..

I have ordered the felt, but tell me what you think of his suggested steps and the caution on the windows. I dont have any choice in that my windows do not open right now so this needs to be done. I will call a window place to see if I can have new windows cut to this size and diameter if I do break them. Surely these break and are replaced so i am not sure what he means by "impossible".
Todd,
I want to caution you on this job. We will sell the material but we will not install it on any coach because it very likely you will break a window removing it from the coach. If you break a window the glass is impossible to get. Back in the day when those were built it was 1/8 in glass, but now 1/8 in glass is 3/16 in. When you assemble the glass the window will not slide.
Steps on removal
Remove screws from inside frame and any components to access screw removal.
Remove window from coach the sealer is very good sealer so use caution
Unscrew the frame tab that holds the window frame together (4) per window
Remove glass and felt and all the rubber (grommets) pieces on window
We made a piece of wood to push the felt back in the groove no glue needed, but it would not hurt
Reinstall the glass and back in the coach
I will not have a measurement on how much material you will need
