Question:
The glass in my rv exterior door is installed from the factory textured side out. Since the seal goes against the outside glass surface, it seen a better seal would be possible with the smooth side out. How do you recommend the glass be oriented and why?

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the textured side should be facing inside the trailer and it is for the reason you already nailed. Having the smooth side out will allow for a better grip from the seal.
I have included a video from the Lippert Replacement Window Frame with Seal # LC363370. At about the 2:30 mark of the video he talks about which way the Obscure Glass for RV Entry Doors # LC201495 should be facing and touches on why.
