Hi Larry
Nice - Love the looks of your coach. I believe my 75 has the same windows.
I found that the felt runners that help seal and insulate the window glass was hard and full of dirt. You can pry them out to confirm - you will need to replace them with new which is available. I bought some last year and just replaced a bunch of it. The process is a little tricky but not hard. I'll send you some info on what I bought, it kind of worked so I hope someone else can get you pointers on a different supplier. When you face the window from the inside, the left part of the window is fixed in place. The right side window slides on the inner track. So If the windows is closed you can remove the felt from the lower inner track to the right of the window stop "solid rubber" left of the sliding window. On mine this got them loose enough to move. Then once you get it moving open it all the way and gently pry with a pick or small screw driver when you're ready to replace the felt/rubber U channel. If it comes out in one piece you will see how they had it installed. Most of mine came out in hard pieces. So good luck on this.
If you have any questions I'm happy to help - I'm very new with this stuff also. Send me a private message - I'll send my email and cell number.
These older coaches need lot's of love.
