Shane; I replaced my door window with the bathroom door I bought from Shane. It was easy, I did have to pry it out just a little and made sure I did not puncture/dent the door skin, which is easy if your not paying attention. I used a painters 7 in 1 tool, a rubber mallet and butyl tape from Home Depot. I bought a roll from CW and ended up tossing it, it was just horrible. As I unrolled it, it kept sticking; which isn't bad, but then it just stuck to the wrong side of the paper.
I did have to straighten a couple sections of the inner ring, but it was in very good condition.
Since it was the bathroom window, I did flip it 180 degrees, drilled a couple of drain holes. Applied the butyl from HD, it was a night and day difference in how easy the HD tape went on.
The outside went into the hole with ease, the inner ring took a bit of persuasion. I had to tap one side with a rubber mallet and once popped in, I installed a few screws loosely, then went back and snugged them in a random criss cross pattern. I'll retighten in a few days sitting in the heat to let the butyl set. I've got to scrape some seal that oozed out, but it works great.
