Hi:  Has anyone had the problem of their door glass sliding down???  Just noticed ours down about an inch and a half.
Hopefully it won't rain in the next day or so.  How much of a job is it to repair??  Any and all help and suggestions will be most appreciated.

You'll have to remove the outside window flange and re-glue the glass in with clear silicone. Re-install the flange and seal between it and the glass with silicone. Pretty easy to do.

The window frame has tab on it that hold the glass in position, the tab can brake on the bottom from the bouncing.  If they are broke you can replace the frame or raise the glass up to where it belongs and put some thing under it to keep it from slipping.  That's what I did with my SnowBird when it happened to me.

Same thing happened to us on an older RV...all I did was press against the glass and push it up and back in place. I then ran a sealing bead of good quality  silicone around the window. The silicone has enough adhesion that we never had another problem. This is quick and simple and worked, the correct way is as the others have suggested.

The same thing happened on our 1994 RL. I pulled the frame out. The little plactic tabs at the bottom were broken. I just tuned the frame upside down with the two remaining tabs at the bottom and reinstalled the window. Lasted until we sold the trailer last year.
