Swift challenger 510

[SteveWesty]

I'm sure this will be so simple, but I just can't seem to work it out. How do I remove the front near side window on a Swift Challenger 510. I have got de lamination problems with the window.
Thanks Steve
P.S it's a 2006 model

Will a large lump hammer help :cheer:

 

[SteveWesty]

That is my usual (expensive) solution, but thought I might try a more technical approach this time !!

There are two possibilities.
1. It may have to be removed by removing the outward stop on the hinge rail, then the window slides out.
2, Undo the stays, then open the window to above the 90 degree angle and it lifts out of the hinge rail.

 

[SteveWesty]

The window does not join a straight hinge rail it is a complete square with oval corners so it can't slide off.
I have tried taking the stays off and lifting as far up as it can but still can't seem to get it off.
Thanks Steve

Can you post a pic of the inside and outside please?

 

[SteveWesty]

Sorry for being stupid but how do I attach pic's. Steve

Hi Steve, sorry but I don't know either, but if you look at the sub section Our Website there is a sticky post about posting photos,,,,,hope that helps

 

[SteveWesty]

This is the top of the window from the outside, hope this helps. (Quite impressed that I managed to do this it must be easy) Steve

It certainly looks like it is the type that lifts above 90 degrees and releases from the hinge rail.
They can be awkward and then suddenly release and if not careful, you drop it...........I know..been there, done it !
Getting them back in is just as fiddly

Thanks for the advice I will have a go in the morning and let you know.

[Damian]

Hi Steve, glad you got it out, they are a bit of a pain but once done you know how to sort them out if the need arises again.

 

[SteveWesty]
