Horse trailer windows defective. Sloppy construction.

Postby whitefishpoint » Tue Aug 17, 2010 8:47 pm

Both my horse trailer windows which came from Redneck trailer supplies are defective. They both leak and yes the plugs are out.

What I found was that the the vertical cross member they rivot on is actually rivoted THROUGH the water collection channel !

I had a pair of these on my teardrop 3 years ago - NEVER a water issue. These new ones leak like crazy.

It looks like I can re-engineer them myself by sealing around the rivot - but its such sloppy work. Just a warning what you might end up with if you get these.

They have a dealership in Sulpher Springs TX- close to us - I may just bring this to their attention!

:( If there is a defect you might try to get a replacement from the supplier...... :thinking:
