I think the D series machines are all the same as far as the glass but this rig is a 2014 259d enclosed cab. It appears that I have a rain water leak into the cab from the lowest spot on the glass window frame. Also, I don’t think the little drain hole is clogged, appears to drain water fine. I suspect it’s a simple seal issue but it looks like a good deal of work to remove the window frame from the cab. Not a show stopper problem by any means but it’s does get old when the cab gets all musty in the heat after a little rain. Has anyone had a similar issue and more importantly how do you remove the glass window frame (not just the sliding glass)? The glass could really use a heaving cleaning anyway. Thanks.
Wow, no one has removed the whole side window frame from these rigs? Anyone have a service manual? I guess I should get a manual, just call the cat dealer or is there a more cost effective place to get one? Thanks.
9 screws per side, and cut the bonding.
Thanks for the reply, so it’s like a butyl type sealant I assume? Sounds like a good time, probably need a wire type windshield butyl cutter.
This video shows the slider removal, but, he gives up on pulling the whole frame.
Nice, thanks for all the info! looks like a fun job for a darn water leak! also, I did find that video before I posted on this forum. I watched until he gave up, what a quitter! So, I didn’t know it existed when I searched “flowable silicone” but **** as poop it does. Going to give this a shot before I start ripping things apart!
