fogged windows
I don't know if its worth the trouble or expense but I thought I
would ask for opinions. I have a number (well a lot) of windows which have become fogged due to age (mostly around the lower edges). Do automotive glass places handle this type of thing? This is one of those don't need to do but it would be nice to do things on the list. Might do the worst first. John Heckman central Pa 1973 FC |

You have to replace the glass
But if you do be careful some of the colors or tints that Bluebird used are no longer produced and are extremely hard to locate. if you are only mmatching one window on a side you would see the difference in tints if you do the whole side it would look ok Stephen 77fc35 dupreeproducts.com 888-668-4288 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "bubblerboy64" wrote: > > I don't know if its worth the trouble or expense but I thought I > would ask for opinions.

I replaced all my windows this past spring with thermopane Penninsula
Windows. I went to their factory in Vancouver Wa and they measured to existing windows and then built the replacements. They are a big improvement over the old ones. Total cost for 10 windows (did not do the back ones) was approx $3300 US. They take a bit of work to install.

No I don't think they are tinted. Pete, I am assuming that in your
case the frames and all were replaced? You would have to to get the thicker thermopane glass I am assuming? That would make for a excellent job but I don't want to get into it that deeply. I am looking for who does this type of work. Would any auto glass business handle this type of work or is it a specialty area?

John
My windows were getting a little corroded along the bottom of the sliders. the "cat fur" was in very bad shape, and on a recent trip south ( from BC to Mexico) in Dec, we noticed that a lot of cold was leaking in around the old windows. The new windows did include all new custom made frames. The bus is much quieter and warmer/cooler with the new windows. If you are going to replace the glass you should make sure that your frames and seals are worth the expense. I would recommend consideration be given to complete new windows.

We replaced both the front driver's and co-pilots windows including the frames
because of fogging. they were dual pane windows originally manufactured by Motion Windows a Division of Peninsula Glass .http://www.motionwindows.com. Both window frames were slightly smaller than the originals and required great effort to keep from exposing unpainted body sections. There was lots of extra room on the inside flange but would recommend having the outside flange made a 1/4 of a inch bigger to eliminate the need to use touch up paint or fill in with colored silicone.
