Warped plastic side window

[ArcticMatt]

Has anyone had this issue with the westfalia plastic double glazed side window warping and leaving a gap. I think I can fix it with some foam strip. The Mosquitos found this gap very easily!

Not the best bit of kit those windows.

I had mine out from the frame a couple of times.
They're only held in with plastic nuts on metal studs. Very easy to strip the thread.
You access them via the holes in the metal grill between sink/stove unit and van side.
Use a long thin walled socket and just check they're all nipped up.
The warping could just be the frame sprung away from the van wall?

Pod.

Cheers. Aye they look pretty flimsy. The frame looks square but the bottom catch doesn't quite draw the window fully in. I'll have a go at removing it and see if it re-seats better
