New Windshield 88 FC
While on our trip to Southern Mexico both of my windshields got hit by
rocks. This is a normal occurence on the bad roads!! My Mexican Insurance will cover the replacement but getting the windshields will be a chore. My BB parts book shows the BB #'s as 1222694 aqnd 1222686. These are supposed to fit from 86 to 88. My glass is all old and the #'s are very faded. I do see 2686 and the 2694 on the glass. What I need is the complete National Auto Glass #'s. Any help appreciated. Bruce 1988FC |

When you replace the windshields DO NOT cut the gasket unless you you
have a new one of the proper size to replace it Some of the gaskets are getting hard to find Stephen 77fc35 dupreeproducts.com --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "birdshill123" > > While on our trip to Southern Mexico both of my windshields got hit by > rocks.

Guardian does manufacture the glass and will install it for a
reasonable price. I had it relaced a year or so ago. Less than $ 200 if I remember correctly.

Do the windshield removal and install yourself. Takes about a minute to remove the windshield...about 10 minutes to install the replacement. Use plenty of lube (dish soap or silicone spray), no steel tools unless it's the windshield install tool, use paint sticks to push the seal out from the inside...two people work better than one for the R&R.

Curt:
Thanks for the tip. My insrance will be paying for this ( I hope). I undertake a lot of mechanical jobs but would never attempt a windshield. Best left for the pros. Bruce 1988 FC35 |

Any help appreciated. > > > Bruce > 1988FC > I replaced my passenger windshield last Oct. I got the glass from a BB schoolbus dealer for about $270. I talked to the factory and they said if they ship to me direct, there will be a shipping charge. However, going through the dealer, there was no charge for shipping and my price was the same as a direct purchase. The dealer charged me $170 for the install. I don't like to do glass so I let the dealer do the install. A big advantage to split windshields is a lower repair cost. Some of the motorhomes with a one piece windshield are very expensive for glass and labor. My gaskets were in great shape and the dealer recommended reusing them instead of replacing them.
