Hi A while back i ordered new window frames (for 2493c01) for my 8680 set using the Bricklink inventory as reference. When i got them i was thinking to switch the glass over from my discolored variants, however i found out that the windows i had, has fixed glass in them. The window i have with the set is part 4347. I also noticed that Rebrickable and brickset use this part in their inventory. When looking in the instructions, the step where the windows are added does not describe the glass being added to the frame, thus i think 4347 is the most corect window here. However i cannot be sure that 2493c01 was never used also. Perhaps the instruction was kept not describing to insert the glass, or perhaps there are two versions of the instruction floating around? I was hoping to get some input from the community before going ahead and requesting an inventory change request since i'm not really sure what is the most corect corse of action here.

[...] I think both variants are correct, for first (few) year(s), it came with fixed glass, then it came with removable glass, similar to this set (Set 7839-1) [...] (5 months ago, Dec 11, 2023, to Catalog)
