https://www.wanderlodgeownersgroup.c...ad.php?t=34769 Post #8 suggests using a suction cup. I used a suction cup to get one of the windows to slide open.

These things are super handy around the bus. I use the tiny ones to hold a shoe pocket thing on the outside of the bus when where parked (German wife - shoes are verboten inside).

HF is your friend. Lift window up slightly using the sucker cup attached to the glass, as you try to slide open. Wipe sucker cup with damp cloth before attaching. My cheaper black one without the fancy valve works better for simple things like this. If you can’t get it to budge, try spraying the track along the bottom of the window and letting it set for a few minutes then try again. Once open, clean the track & spray with 3-IN-ONE WINDOW& track dry lube. Sometimes I lube the top track as well.

Somewhere on the WOG is a set of instructions with one difference. That one added a can of of spray chain (bike) cleaner. It was to dissolve any sticky stuff. The rest is good. I used a heavy nylon drywall compound spreader to pry with too.

We all seem to push/pull on the side of the window where the latch is,you do need to pull on the latch,but if you push on the other side of the window it helps too.
Maybe put the suction cup on the other side of the window.

Push up to break the seal on the bottom it may only move 1/16"
using the palms of your hands on the outside. Someone needs to hold the inside lock open.

I don't think my windows had ever been opened. We took a wooden spoon and used it to push between the latch and frame, that gets it started. Then use all methods above.we still use the spoon to get them started
