Emery,
Are you saying to slip them in place sideways or slide them from the end?
Sounds like you did this job before. Did you paint the trim pieces and if you
did, how did that hold up with the hot water? I painted mine with vinyl spray
paint.

Emery,
I guess I have it wrong. I have the old stlye trip with the
8 plastic trip pieces per window. You're talking about
something else. A newer style then what I have?

Emery,
Thanks for the advice in case I get a newer coach. At least
mine is new enough for HEI.
