Product Description
New front curved window to replace those cracked, missing or worn out plexiglass windows. This window is custom made from UV stabilized polycarbonate not Acrylic, which is inferior and easily cracks. Polycarbonates are high-molecular weight, amorphous engineering thermoplastics that have exceptionally high-impact strength over wide temperature range. It is characterized by an excellent combination of toughness, transparency, heat and flame resistance and dimensional stability. Humidity changes have little effect on dimension or properties of molded polycarbonate parts. The insulating and other electrical characteristics of polycarbonate are excellent and they are generally unaffected by greases, oils and acids. Window may have minute air bubbles and scuffs, which are barely visible and do not distract from the overall appearance of the window. Window may have a slight distortion or wavyness on the very outside edge of the window. This is from handling the polycarbonate in order to put it in the mold once it is heated to its forming temperature. Most of this distortion will be cut off when the windows are trimmed to size. The original window were approximately 29" high by 34" wide but these are produced larger than the original windows, so they can be used on either side and must be cut to size for your trailer. We have found that the original windows may vary in size as much as 1/4". For that reason, we cannot produce a one size fits all window, they all must be cut down to fit your specific trailer. Sold Each. These window are .177" thick which is thicker than the original windows which were only .125" thick. Windows may have very minor scratches, scuffs or blemishes from manufacturing process.
Window gasket must be ordered separately for this window. We recommend the oversized gasket for installing these windows, which is part # CHW014. You will need 11 foot of gasket per window. If you will be installing these windows, you will also need to buy a tool to insert the lock strip. We have these available also and the part # is COT001. You can use the search box in the upper right hand corner to find these parts.

BEST OPTION OUT THERE!
I tried to replace my curved windows with another supplier's but they just were too small for the OEM cutout- even with a larger gasket. Jo-Anne walked me through ALL the options for a '54 Manor and eventually we landed on the right ones for my production year. Yes- shipping was expensive to the left coast, but I couldn't be happier with the custom made product. The instructions are very clear on how to pattern the oversize polycarbonate to your specific coach and it was a little scary jig-sawing the first one but it came out AMAZING with little effort even though I went a smidjoin oversize. (don't- makes for a real challenge gasketing!) VC are real dedicated Spartan people which is rare in the vintage supply world. My streetside replacement is still safely boxed for another day! Definitely F*I*V*E*S*T*A*R*S*
