Side window in door.

[Kristinsgrandpa]

How many use the small windows at the bottom of their doors?

When I made my door I left the small one at the bottom out.

Apparently they were of come benefit or the coach builders wouldn't have put them in, but was it just to see the curb when stopping to pick up passengers?

I'm thinking seriously about changing the radius of the corners in my window and thought I might add the smaller, lower window while doing it.

I made the bottom of the window even with the bottom of the windshield and used the same radius as the side windows, but I'm not sure its what I want.  I think the radius is too large.

I thought about squaring it off like the MCI's (I really like their doors) but it would be two possible leak points instead of one.

If you notice I have the smaller window at the bottom of the front door with a fresnal decal lens that really helps with the "blind" spot.  Highly recommend it.  Good Luck, TomC

We have one on our Eagle. I really like it. I can't take credit for installing it but I would definitely would have. It sure makes a difference when changing lanes and driving in general.

I wish I had one in my door. There are times when I'd really like to see what's out there, like when backing into my driveway. I have to back in at an angle, and there are some large rocks in my flower bed. If I cut it too quickly, I could easily hit them with the front of the bus. The mirrors are of no use this far forward. A window would be perfect.

BTW, I like the looks of your window in the photo. Post a photo from a 45* angle showing the side windows, door, and windshield, and we'll take a better look.

Gumpy yes the windows are nice! But there are to wats to fix the mirror problem! One is to mount a mirror on the top of the door angled down where you can see straight down beside the door, or now days the have those 1/4 ball mirrors that all the courier vans (Fed ex, DHL, so & so and what ever) I'm sure you've seen 'm on the back of delivery vans where the driver can see the back of the van from his side mirror! Same thing could be mounted up front (skoolies have them now days too!), probably cheaper & easier than modifing the door! FWIW   BK

Or you might mount a small security-type camera above the door to watch for curbs, motorcyclists, etc.

Gumpy, here is a side view. 

It's sitting on the air bags and has white overspray on the tires, it doesn't look very good but you can see the windows.

Thanks for the compliments. The stripes are painted. The paint mask came from Prostripe.

The paint my next door neighbor bought, his daughters (cheerleader, homecoming queen) car needed the front bumper painted. He bought the paint and I painted the bumper and used the rest on the coach.

Here is the rear mural. The stars and letters are in glow in the dark.

Hi Ed,

Great paint job.   I am going to paint ours white with an accent color too. A job not for the weak hearted for sure.

I like it a lot!  The window in the door looks good. The paint looks great. I like the humor on the rear. Very nice.
