If they let me keep it!  I think my window will have to go back when the new one comes.  (One of the 2009 vans where the window manufacturer didn't leave a wide enough gap in the front window - not just a Bailey issue either.  When you drive along, the force of the air pushes the two skins together and they cause a rubbing on the inside of the double glazed unit.  Someone's paying for that as well, and not me!)
yes this has been ongoing for many many months now,all types of caravan are affected with this problem.i met a friend at blackpool with a swift.the front centre window had just been changed no reason given and it had gone again inside 12 month.when i told him the reason his window had a 6 inch round misting in the centre he was shocked saying why did the dealer not tell me.i told him to contact swift direct which they did on that day with good results.it was only one of many problems.

Window was ordered in July.  Dealer was saying It could take as long as 3 months to come.  It's not too bad on ours so it's not stopping us use the van.  I ring them up periodically, but in a few weeks time my 'phone calls will begin their small crescendo and rapidly reach gigantic proportions if they don't get a wriggle on!
