While my camper was closed up in AZ heat my window vinyl has kinda melted into the screen putting a screen pattern into the clear vinyl in several spots. Has anyone else had this issue? Any tricks to get the vinyl clear again?

Sorry, I don’t have an answer, but I’d love to know if there is a way to restore the clear vinyl. Have you tried Google? I did find this: https://www.amazon.c...yl looking new!

Meguires makes a plastic polish that is popular a with the Mazda Mx-5 crowd for keep the plastic window on the soft top clear and clean. That could work.
Mind you, that's for dealing with cloudy (UV damage) plastic, not plastic that is partially melted.

When the top is closed, the weight of the roof presses the clear vinyl against screen material. The screen pattern is transfered to the vinyl. The only way to correct is to replace the clear vinyl. I have the same issue on a couple of windows and have not been able to remove the pattern from the clear vinyl.
