   Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have had a r-pod 172 for several years. I live in Santa. Fe, NM and my wife and I enjoy camping in the southwest. I would like to put a slider type window in the door of my 172 but am concerned with how stable it would be mounted in a foam door. I know some of you have done it and would like to know if anyone has encountered any problems.
I also joined the other forum before I discovered this one. Do most people belong to both? I am a little confused by the similarity of the websites.

	fdgibbons1, Welcome to the forum!! I installed the slider window in my 179 last year. The foam in the door is very rigid & thick. I had no problems doing the install & have not had any problems with the window since the install. Just remember, measure twice; cut once!!

	Welcome to the group fdgibbons1. Glad to hear you have had your 172 for some time. Same for us as we have enjoyed our 177 for 5 years now. Great unit.
