Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

I would check to see if the interlocks have bypassed. There seems to be a consistent gap the entire length of the meeting stile.

Unless they changed their policy, if a Gorell dealer stayed with Soft-Lite, they would honor the warranty. Lets hope that is the case.
