The side windows are no real concern. It's the front and rear windows. I doubt that it is possible to get original rubber, but what does done do to replace these items?
I have one rear corner window (orig. curved glass) that someone has replace with lexan or plexy, that I would like to have replaced in glass. Plus new window rubber and windshield rubber.
Has anyone with a bus tried to find these pieces? Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks a lot
George

Therefore your rear window and any side windows will need to be replaced at a local glass shop.

Look them up in the web, and they have pictures to reference what you're looking for. Good luck.
