We need to be very thankful to Ken Burton for setting this up for the last few years. Ken gets ZERO for arranging it. There can't be many of these sold each year. The production of them could END at anytime. Thus there just could not be another next year. Just a thought. Bob Dunahugh

Thanks Bob.

I am also worried about End Of Life on this product too. As it is now there are no more US manufacturers making them. A couple of years ago the last US company making them (Viracon) got bought up and the new owners dropped our windshields from their product line. Lucky for us the main US distributor of them got their own DOT number and now has them made off shore under their DOT number and specs. Right now that country is not on very good relations with the US.

I have no real insight as to what will happen. I am just concerned.

Bob,
No, I'm sure there are 100 used per year.
I know the Revcon and others are hurting as they do not have enough. We
supply about 40-50 per year.

Jim K. I'm surprised that the numbers are that high. But in the production world of numbers. Still doesn't seem like much to me. I just know that the first chance that I got. They went in.

I always tell these manufactures to raise the margin so it will be worth
making them in low quantities.
