Title: Swapping MCI-8 rear window for middle window, should work...... right?
Post by: Carbone on April 04, 2012, 02:55:21 PM

On the passenger side of my bus the rear widow is different from all of the others because it covered the original bathroom. Going from left to right calling it #1, the #3 looks identical and quickly measured the same. Since #3 is going to be covered inside and outside I was thinking about just swapping them instead of trying to find another one. Any horror stories in my future? :-\?

Any suggestions on replacing the rubber trim around the windows? The u-shaped rubber trim that goes between the frame that swings out and the frame that mounts to the chassis. Not sure where to look but I bet you can buy that trim in a roll or bulk.

measure 'em, and swap if they are the same size.

Pull the pins at the top and swap the whole unit.

Many sizes of window in the MC8...

Economical use of same sizes comes later in history...

happy coaching!

they are the same so go for it. open the latches on the bottom, and pull the hinge pins at the top. They are pretty easy to swap out.

Got them swapped! Had both of them out in less than 10 minutes. After trying for over an hour to install them by myself I called in some help and 15 minutes later they were in. Check one more little project off the list ;D
