CLASSIC WINDOW REPLACEMENT
#16

(05-26-2015, 12:09 PM)Retro Wrote:  Finally replacing the nasty old windows for my 77. I decided to rebuild my original windows, its more work but I wanted a certain shade of blue tint.  When the coach was repainted they also painted the frames so I have to strip them with aircraft stripper, 
I wanted the original anodized aluminum look. The new tempered glass only comes in 1/4" , the originals are 3/16. The window felt I purchased from penninsula glass is made for 1/4" so it will work well.

I'm working on replacing the windows of my 68 Newell.  I'm learning that's easier said than done!  I'm glad I found your post.  Would you mind sharing where you purchased your glass and felt?  Pricing would be helpful too.  Did you have a glass place make the cuts and then you installed it or did you have a place put it all in?  I've been trying to find a place even just to purchase the glass and I'm not having much luck (NW Wisconsin).  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

The one quote I've managed to get is for about $300-400 per window just for the glass, not including any installation. Seems high to me but I have nothing to compare it to.

Your windows turned out awesome, nice work!  Although not probably consistent for the age of the coach, I'm leaning toward going with dark privacy glass.  I'll gladly listen to comments regarding that as well.  

Thanks everyone!
