Lets see now, windows sticking and not unlatching or latching properly, #
umpteenth priority project. Whew this fun RV'ing is about to kill me...LOL

it's not normal. Probably a function of the coach sitting a
long time. On my coach, the windows up front open very easily -- too
easily, in fact. The weather stripping has flattened and I need to
renew it to stop some rattling while underway.

The bedroom window, however is somewhat of a pain. It's quite sticky.
My latch doesn't quite latch. So, my plan is to thoroughly clean the
tracks and apply some graphite. (WD-40 is a solvent. It leaves a
slight residue that attracts dirt, so it's not a good choice for a
window.) I'll also add some washers under the latch part in the
window frame so the locking part will connect (if the cleaning and
graphite doesn't do the trick).
