I am looking for the R-side window, the one located behind the passenger seat and next to the Dinette. The large fixed pane was broken and is gone now. The frame, sliding window pane, and gasket for the missing window are fine.
Did lots of research and got best quote from Alex Sirum GMC Motorhome in Okeechobee FL for $306 (glass, crate, S/H). Cinnibar Engineering is also sending a quote any day.
Anyone know a RV Center or Salvalge yard, or other Glass shop in CO who has or can make this window?Searched Five Star RV in Henderson CO, no window glass to match. I've not been able to locate this window glass part anywhere in CO.
Glass America, Lakewood CO, took measurements and gave quote, then backed off because they realized they could not bend that large of a glass piece to match that much of curve.

I got that same fixed glass window from Jim K last year. It was a used window and cost around $200 + shipping. The glass co. found a new one but the new ones all have the 2 holes for the slide fixture that the fixed one doesn't have. A number of folks have gone to the newer windows so there should be a number of windows out there.
