I've replaced both windshields on my '78 96" wide. I found Newell to be the best source for the glass and the rubber seal. I had them ship direct to the glass installer. Of course if they broke during the installation procedure they were my responsibility. We had to trim the aluminum around the opening to get them to fit properly.
The guys who installed the windshields on my '93 were careful to let the coach set for 24 hours after installation to let the adhesive/sealers set up.
Concerning the center section. I'd have a glass company make one and order a few extra feet of the rubber surround from Newell and cut it to fit. Put it in the fridge before you cut it slightly longer than needed so it will not shrink back during cold outside temps.
