Replaced windshelds on our 71 in 2004. Purchased 2 from Newell along with new rubber seal. Glass company broke one, They didn't charge me for that one. Set the other one in but it looked like a ""bug eye." Back to Newell for 2 more windshelds. Took coach to Binswanger Glass where a "old hand" modified the glass to fit the openings respectively and installed with out trouble. Glass had to be shortened in the center by about 1" and also needed the be trimmed along the bottom side. Each window opening was different. He also recut the one that was not broken and reset. About $1,700 worth of glass and 2 trips to Miami to the Newell shop. Was all it took. Now have two set in coach and a spare in storage. Nothing is as nice as "new glass" used truck glass usually looks like it "went a million miles".
