Kitchen window fail

[Indnryder]

Greetings,

As promised in the new member thread I posted, I am posting with regards to my window problem, I have searched high and low for a solution but haven’t found one yet. On my last trip out we went to Cooperstown, I did a walk around inspection at a rest area and noticed that the lower portion of the kitchen window had become unattached across most of the width and was holding on by a thread, the glue for the ratchet tube had let go from the glass and it was just moments away from letting loose and falling to the freeway. I removed the pane and continued on down the road and completed the trip. My problem now has become reinsertion of the glass into the frame. I have replaced the automotive tape and reinstalled the guide tube for the ratchet assembly but when I try to insert the upper bracket under the window on the top there is a tremendous amount of tension that seemingly wants to push the lower portion of the window out away from the frame and my fear is that if I seat it to the tape it will eventually break. There seems to be a larger gap in the center as well, more so than all the other windows anyway. Is there a disassembly/reassembly process that I don’t know about or should the thing easily slip up into the channel and hinge freely without tension pushing the bottom out, or is the tension supposed to be there to assist in opening the window…….Thanks in advance for any help or insight…..
