Need to replace the plastic window mldgs on all side windows on a 75 26'. The originals that are left have shrunk up in the heat. There are 2 sizes. I assume Jim K has these, but any advice on the installation?
Also have 2 loose windows, will have to remove them and reset with urethane like a car window?
Anyone done this or know where to get these parts?
No, I don't want to buy all new windows.
Thanks

Assuming you are talking about the outside moulding, around the windows, you can buy from JimB or Jim K and there are lots of guidance and pictures. I have a box full sitting in the garage for my former 76 23, I think 75 and 76 frames the same, if you are interested.

I am not sure about the interior molding on early 1975 coaches, but the earliest 1975 coaches had the same window FRAMES as the 1973 and 1974 coaches. Later 1975 and after had a different design (better) frames and molding.

Maybe someone here knows the location of the link but I watched a video of side window install and rebuilding. I remember it to be quite helpful. It was a couple of years ago when I watched it.

Having read the procedure on this, I've decided to leave them as is. Already having a restored coach, and having bought this second one to save it from the crusher, my idea is to work it enough only to make it usable for someone else to complete. So there is no way I'm removing the windows. Very Happy Thanks for the advice.
