Title: Looking for the glass window above the cab
Post by: Goody1955 on March 21, 2016, 02:25:19 PM
Hello Clipper owners,
My name is Cliff Goodman my girlfriends name is Karin Comstock we were gifted a 1977 Dodge 440 rear kitchen. I was replacing the glazing bead to the glass above the cab, it's around 71 in  long 7 5/8 in wide. It was without the bead for few days and during the last storm it blew out on to the ground. So I'm in the market for a replacement any help or leads would be appreciated. We live in wine country Paso Robles CA.
Thanks Cliff

Hi Cliff
Congrats on the Clipper, gifted is a great price - depending on previous owners you might have some repairs 😋  We have had ours two years and have done some major repairs to Nina the Clipper

Are you talking about that gray seal? Mel the supply officer should have that? Look on the order form. He's back from vacation next week - I'm getting a new escape hatch 😊

Hi Cliff,
I Had Mine Done By A Auto Glass Shop.
I Had Them Temperted It And Had A Slight Tint To Keep Sun Off Top Bunk Area.
Also I Had Glass Made A Little Thickered From OEM.

I Think Removal & Made Up Took 4-5 Days To Have It Tempered.
About $250.00

I lost my frame, hinges broke and duck tape didn't hold on the ride home. Here in Portland the chain Speedy Auto glass did the measurement, tempered and installed it permanently into place since I didn't have the frame and it was $100 total. The glass for that portion of the window was only about $35-40.

That was done for me last month, but was only the long window glass of the part that cranks open, not the other smaller parts of glass.
