My Courier 96 has skyviews. It is an old Brewster bus out of Banff, Alberta. I was driving for them in the seventies, when all our buses had skyview windows for sightseeing in the Canadian Rockies. I see in the picture of that MC8 ? that they are smaller than what we had, and that they are tinted. A good thing because they make the bus like a green house in the summer. I made blinds out of a solid fabric that velcros from the inside. And covers that go on the outside. They are wonderfull when the weather is cool and we take the covers off. We only have the front 2 rows operational, the back ones are covered by upper cupboards, the shower, closets, etc. As neat as they are, and a conversational piece, they are not really practical for a conversion, because the space would be better used for upper cupboards. And I have to fix water leaks once in a while.
