I don't have any windows, but if I recall correctly, the Prevost side windows were the same as GM coach windshields in 4104's and others. That might make it easier to find one.

A old wives tale the GM windshields are not even close BTDT ,check out the XL Prevost page on F/B there is always somebody parting out a Prevost there

I remember reading that on the board back in the nineties, you mean that someone would say something that is not so on the internet? Outrageous!  :o

I found an old message from 2007 that repeats what I had read earlier:

Howdy!

If you have a Prevost Champion, then you CANNOT interchange the windshields with the side windows.  Your side windows are parallelogram-shaped...similar in style to a GMC 4104/4106/buffalo/fishbowl transit.  HOWEVER, a Prevost Prestige and a narrow-body (96" wide) Prevost LeMirage or LeMirage XL can interchange windshields with the side windows.  But, like the other listmembers posted, the side windows are tinted, and the windshields are clear.  Here's the cool part, a Prevost Prestige, Champion, narrow-body LeMirage, and narrow-body LeMirage XL can use the same windshields as a GMC 4104/4106 and any buffalo (4107/4108/4903/4905)...and the windshields are "ambidextrous" (sp?) meaning that, for example you can take a left windshield, flip it over, and it will fit on the right.  Hope this helps, and good luck!  Best regards - Steve

No wonder there is confusion.  ;D

I wonder if the curved roof plexiglass or whatever panels on my spare 4905 coach are the same.(Shortline-New Jersey)

Bob: I bought a new one (glass not lexan) from Prevost. First one arrived in a BIG box loose inside and was damaged (broken corner) shipping boss gone that day. Second one was foamed in box, arrived fine. I haven't installed it yet (low Priority) You may find a used one, I chose new. Best of luck Gerry H

Are you needing the big window or the small side window in the front above the entrance door and driver?

OK, sorry, I don't have that window. I ordered one from Prevost, it was on sale at $160 including shipping. First one was broken in a million pieces, second one was totally foamed and received fine, just took an hour getting all the foam off.
