Dual Pane MCI 9 Windows?

[grantgoold]

I understand that some of the MCI 9s came with dual pane windows as optional equipment. Anybody got OEM dual pane? Does anyone know where to get some OEM dual panes. I am thinking about the inserts mentioned today but would only get two with sliders the rest solid.

Thanks

I thought mine were.... till I took them apart. They were just really thick plastic.

optional starting with the MC-8

plastic windows were generally on units ordered by transit agencies for break protection

The same company that offers the sliders has solid dual panes for $375.

Grant,

Did you ever locate a source for "stock" MCI dual pane glass windows?  I was told they are out there in take outs and from yards.

No luck yet. I am hoping to find someone on the West Coast-shipping is way tooo expensive. I would love to get my hands on a complete set.

Thanks

If you happen to see any Eagle solid windows that would fit our 01 please let me know. I'm still looking.......

Guys,

The only problem with "making" dual pane windows is that they are made from tempered glass.  A long time ago i looked into making double panes for my own application.  It wasn't all that involved and a cylinder if dry nitrogen was fine as a fill and they wanted argon....I think.  The advantage of rolling your own would be that you can use that really good glass that reflects UV and everything else including sparrows.  I think back then the gold tinted stuff was the best.
