Re: sealed window units Reply #2 – November 03, 2014, 09:41:27 pm Which just happens to be where we are... but at the Oregon location. There are two large locations, but they apparently ship nationwide to service centers and mobile installers. The two main locations also do side window repairs as well as windshields. We had or passenger sider replaced and the driver side resealed. The passenger side was a Viracon (original equipment) and the driver side was a "Coach Glass" apparently replaced by the coach's original owner some time in the past. RV Glass Solutions is Coach Glass. I am of two minds about this... One, at least the two sides are the same brand (although the tint still doesn't quite match up in color or extent ). Two, Foretravel owns the rights to their own glass (now made by Guardian) and, according to Jeremy of FOT, there maybe be issues of fitment (where is the thumbs down emoticon). As in, not shaped precisely to match the shape of the opening in the front cap. Well, it is done now and for the moment, it is a definite improvement in the situation with a minimum of inconvenience. The fit looks pretty good, but what Jeremy told me brings out the hyper critical perfectionist in me and I can see how it would be better . On the plus side, they worked with the insurance company to get the authorization saving me from having to do it. We came in Sunday night, parked on flat asphalt with good 50 amp power, got it in the bay around 9am. The coach rolled out around 3:30 or so, and I chatted with the shop lead for about 15 minutes, in effect debriefing him. He worked for Country Coach for 20 years and he seemed fairly knowledgeable.On the minus side, Unlike FOT or Xtreme, customers are not allowed in the work area. I flaunted the rules a bit and walled around back and visited the coach and asked a few questions of the installer (of course, I was told about insurance regulations etc.).I resolved that if I have to do this again, I will have both windshields supplied by Foretravel at the same time and barring completely shattered glass, I will have them installed there. They use Urethane sealant, and according to Jeremy, that is the way FOT does them currently so I was reassured on that score.Another plus side, I called FOT and was able to get Tech support on the line and transferred to Jeremy. He even said he remembered us from our time there last October/November while at Ladies' driving school and getting our fuel lines replaced.Time will tell...DonQuote from: jor – November 03, 2014, 08:25:23 pmRV Glass Solutions would be a good bet.RV Glass Solutions880 S. 67th AvenuePhoenix, AZ 85043 (888) 777-6778RV Glass Stress Crack Repaired, Quality Windshield Installation Springfield, ORThey have two locations: Phoenix and Coburg, Oregon.
