Re: Side windows have gap at top

What I did to fix this is to reset the window glass a little higher (3/32") in the bottom frame. This fixed the problem. I did not check the depth of the glass in the metal frame before I first took it apart, which I should have done. I would be willing to bet that it was not bottomed out in the frame the way I re-installed the glass and got the gap. I hope this helps.

That's exactly what I thought. I struggled with the setting tape so I used urethane caulk. I have been told that it would be very difficult to get the window out now....
