Delaminated front window on Buccaneer Argosy

My 8 year old caravan has just had its annual service. Everything was fine last year, but damp up to 40% has been found on the front window sill. I can't see where it might come from - perhaps from the locker below, which has always had rain ingress problems at the locker door?
I opened all the front windows to give them a good clean and tightened the hinge screws. The seals are all in good order and show no signs of leakage.
I then noticed that the centre window acrylic external panel is no longer glued to the interior panel at the bottom. The window still closes fine but I would like to know how to stick the two panels together.
I saw from a previous thread that Exhaust Ejector Co can repair this - I emailed them but haven't had a reply. I'll try phoning.
Any advice most welcome. Thanks. Alan

Thanks Sproket, I think I'll try the Bondrite. I'll have word with my caravan service place (they are just a repair shop and not a caravan dealer) and I'm happy with their service. Alan

Burstner had a problem with potential de laminating of the front window on caravans of a specific age, mine was a 2003 model and i was advised to go to my local Burstner dealer as they had a fix in place free of charge. visibly it looked like they fitted two see through plastic bungs /screws to each corner bottom of my window. tidy looking job but weird...

I'm taking the caravan or maybe just the window to my caravan repairer week commencing 17 August. They use Bondrite. I'll post how it goes. Alan

Window now repaired by my caravan service people. I took the window off the caravan and it was resealed with Bondrite, and clamped overnight to cure the bond. It's now back on the caravan.
Cost inc vat £30.00. Money well spent.

Well done!

It sounds like you have had an excellent result.

And thanks also for updating us, the search engines will index these pages and folks who have similar issues in the past will now know what to do
