Hello all,
I have a '76 Eleganza II with about 90,000 miles and have lost the large fix glass on the driver's side.
1st time was a 50 deg day, driving about 60 MPH and about 10 miles into a trip. The fixed glass of the original window just behind the drive broke. It must have broken first because there was lots of glass inside the coach. The center divider bar was bent but still in place. Not sure if other windows where open.
2nd time was on a 90 deg day, driving about 70 MPH after 250 miles into the trip. This was the later style window. The divider bar and most of the glass was gone. All other windows were closed and the AC was on.
Neither time was I braking, accelerating, going over bumps, feeling tire vibration or anything else like that.
Besides where the divider bars bent the frame, the window frame looks in good shape. Not distorted or lose to the coach.
Has anyone else had their side window(s) fall/blowout while driving? It has happened to me twice and I am wondering if there may be an underline problem I need to address before I replace it again.
Also, without the divider, I am assuming I have to replace the whole window? Anyone have one?
thanks in advance
Todd
