Replacing vinyl windows is a relatively easy do-it-yourself project. If the problem you're having with the window is that it won't stay up this is also easy to fix. Open the lock mechanism at the top of the window. Remove the spring held in place by a screw. take the spring to the hardware store with you so you can get the appropriate length. Replace this spring. Your windows will now stay up and you won't need to replce the whole window.
A PVC cleaner will remove oil deck stain from the vinyl part of a window. Pour the cleaner on a clean sponge or rag and wipe in the direction of the grain to remove the stain.
All the answers I see refer to the newer 'vinyl windows' not the older lanai windows that held vinyl fabric instead of glass. I also need info on this...
how do i remove mold from vinyl
Vinyl signs are more easily removed from windows when they are heated. Take a hair dryer to them for a short period of time, making sure not to heat them too much. Once they are heated, the adhesive will be looser and easier to remove. Take a razor or something thin and sharp to the edges of the sticker and start to slowly work it underneath the vinyl. Once the vinyl sticker is removed, clean the remaining residue from the window.
Without breaking it, remove the vertical stop-trim on the old window. Then remove the top and bottom sashes and the wooden strip between them. Place some fiberglass insulation on the windowsill, place the edge of the new window on the insulation, and insert the window, top-first. Use long mounting screws to secure the new window, then replace the old stop-trim. Finally, cover the seam with caulk.
twice the material
It's a matter of semantics but vinyl stickers is a catch all term, whereas vinyl window decals are more specific and a subset of "vinyl stickers". Vinyl window decals are usually static cling and have a clear backing, or frosted background, though not always. It really depends on the item. In answer to your question, vinyl window decals are a type of vinyl stickers, just as apples are a type of fruit. Hope this helps.
Yes you do. The rear of the vinyl is tucked into the molding of the rear window and glued in place along with the window. If you intend on replacing the headliner with a template of fiber board then just cut the vinyl at the trim. There are 3 rods that clip into the sides of your cab that hold the headliner tight.
Screen printing on vinyl is done with vinyl inks which are very dangerous. Neoprene gloves and a respirator are required. I would recommend that you have a professional do it.
