Window Troubles

[LeArN2LiVe]

I just removed my side panel to clean it up a little bit and while I was cleaning the window part of it I kinda pressed too hard and the entire thing just popped in. I've been trying for over a week to get the dang thing back in but I don't think this thing is bendable at all. Is there some special technique I'm supposed to do? Please help! Pictures :

This is what its supposed to look like.

There's no really easy way to install a window with the type of molding that one has, but it is possible.

First, check if there's a locking strip embedded on one side of the molding. If there is (and that's the only way I've ever seen that type of molding, but I'm no expert), remove it carefully and set it aside (this is what keeps your window from falling out normally, and likely what's keeping you from re-installing it easily). Then take the main part of the molding, and wrap it around the window opening. I'd suggest putting the seam, where the two ends go together, on the bottom. Make sure the slit where the locking strip goes into is on the inside of the case door.

Now take the two long sides to your window, and slip them into the opening of the molding. They ought to slide in pretty easily. Work your way around the window, slipping the window into the molding, until it's all nestled into the molding slot. Once that's done, it's just a matter of getting the locking strip back into the the slot. You might need to coax it in there with a flat tipped screwdriver, and be careful not to pop the entire window back out while you're doing that.

That ought to lock your window back into the molding, and the whole thing back into the case door opening. Hope that helps!
