Replacing Windshields '92 3600 GVF 0-22SBI

New to forum.

Just bought a vandalized unit that needs windshields up here in Nova Scotia. 

Two options so far: FT Texas or Coach Glass Oregon, either way its a long shipment for glass and then there is the install so any first hand experience doing this replacement would be appreciated. 

Any options for used glass for this year model?

Thank you

I had both of mine replaced in Quartzsite for 2300 bucks. It is not for the faint of heart. It was important for me to make sure the installer had done GV's before.

There are 2 windshields available for GV. One is for the 96" body and one for the wide body. Make sure you order the right size.

And, before installing new ones, verify that the front cap to dash support is in good condition OR make it that way.  Several posts on where to check and how to reinforce.

One of the prime causes of damage to this junction is condensation on the windshields running down and rotting the dash to front cap structure.

Wow, fast reply...thank you.
Let me get into each link and reply with q's or comments.  Coach Glass Erik held my hand today with a planned order and pick-up in Lakeland FL later this spring.  Instal will happen when temps. return to nice in May, just have to be patient till then.

Mike, Cant speak for grand villa but we just had both windows replaced in our 99 320 in Quartzite. It was done by Nomad Glass
and I believe they have glass shops in several states.
Their ph Number is 800-808-9762 (California Number) and their web site is RV Windshield Replacement for Yuma, Quartzsite, Lake Havasu, AZ
The local guy I dealt with is Rick Valentine and his number is 928-785-7757.  He is out of Idaho and down here for the winter.  I would bet he can direct you to someone that can help.

Thank you all for the support on this project.  Completed today and wasn't too bad or too expensive.  Have a great guy here in Nova Scotia if anyone needs a quality job...but bring the glass as supply chain delays will be long getting anything up here in the woods.
