Brian - I think Sean has a way for you to fill that :)

How many Walmarts would I need to stop at to gather up enough windshield repair kits?  :)

We were riding our motor bikes and a duck cam eout of teh ditch and hit my budy's bike. Took his windshield right off and deflrcted off of his shoulder. He was very lucky to keep that thing on 2 wheels!

I just replaced my windshields. I realize your are somewhat different but roping them in works very well. You would need someone to hold the windshield in place while from teh insid ewhile someone pulls the rope. Worked well.

I'm having a Bus shop replace the windshield since it is covered under my full glass coverage.

My bus has a little different seal than what I have seen on other buses and both windshields need to come out to replace one.

One of the guys I went thru truck driving school with has had some problems with birds. First he had a hole tore in a trailer by a flying near sighted goose. Tore up a oil cool on a low flying owl. ( Never quite understood that one ) Then Blew out a passenger window on a new International ( about 5k miles on the tractor ) From a turkey strike.

I'd forever call him up and ask where he was driving today., I just saw a dead owl or something on the side of the road and wondered if was his work.

Does a Dina share windshield$ with any other MCIs?   
I suppose the windshield is easier to replace than front bodywork. 

Most quality truck windshield replacement companies can deal with a bus windshield.  They may not be able to supply the glass, but they can install it.   They'll often come to you.
