I must had been away when this post was active. When I originally purchased my first Newell about 8 yrs ago, I was thinking about changing the windows out to the rectangular ones, mainly because they were a tad higher and double pane. I found a deal on surplus at a deep discount, but they all came up an inch short in length. After replacing a full sheet of inner wall plywood, it looked relatively easy to do the job. On mine, I would have only had to drill out a couple rivets on the angle aluminum pieces, cut the shorter portion of the wood at opposite corners to match the longer ones. And of course raise the height a couple of inches in the process. But, from what I remember, there were no issues with outside rivets or wiring.

Tom, I'm curious about your outside sealing technique. I'm about ready to do mine shortly.
