Mike, I didn't clarify, if you decide to cover over the windows, seal the frames really well and replace the rubber seals for the glass. They are known for leaking and many a coach had bad rust below the windows for this reason. You do not need to remove the frames to replace the glass on my 9. Just remove the pin at the top and pull it out. Maybe different for your coach?

No problem, Scott. It would be great if mine would remove like yours and it would save me skinning over the outside. When we purchased the coach we both agreed we wanted to keep the original look on the outside......refitting the entire inside came about a year after that AND that is something I will never do again....LOL.

I will try and contact Luke with US coach, maybe he might know if my windows will remove like yours do. Does your have the latch bar at the bottom of the window to hold it in place?
This would sure be a blessing because a (2) 16' sheet of .125  aluminum is not cheap at all.

Thanks Scott! After taking a closer look at my windows, I think it may work to tilt them out. I am going to give it a try before I add work to my already full schedule.

On another note, when will you be back home? I am still interested in those screws you had for sale.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Mike, end of May early June. We have a pretty aggressive conversion schedule planned for the summer for our new bus. I will make sure we get you those screws if you need them :)
