Classic Winnebagos & Vintage RVs

So I pulled my window frame to start the reseal process (thread to follow) and I have a question:  My frame was welded together at the split, holding the glass in place.  Is this normal?  My local glass guy said it was not and I could not tell if the weld was factory or not.  No, I did not get a picture :-[

Yes,the older Winnebago windows were welded.

For what it's worth, the repair manual says to break the weld and use epoxy instead

Khantrol,


Thanks!  I dont have that manual so this is helpful.
