1984 Holiday Rambler windshield

I own a 1984 holiday rambler imperial class A motorhome. I'm trying to find a passenger side windshield as mine has a top to bottom crack on the right side. Does anyone know who specializes in vintage MH windshields? I'm in the SF Bay area of Ca. (San Jose) and having no luck. Thanks for any help..nakoni

I would find a glass shop locally that does RVs and/or buses and trucks. An RV windshield is mounted much the same as those on a car or truck. It's the height and size that may be a challenge if you don't have experience from installing them on a regular basis. Definitely not a one man job.

There are companies that specialize in RV windshields. They can ship to your installer, or your installer can order it directly from them. No endorsements, but a quick search found: www.rvglassparts.com, www.rvwindshieldreplacements.com, www.duncansys.com/rv-windshield-replacement and this one which specializes in vintage glass: rv-glasparts-vintage-motorhome-glass.sqwiz.com. The windshield companies may have an agreement with a local installer or may be able to recommend one.

There is also the possibility of getting a used windshield from a salvage yard. There are plenty of salvage yards that specialize in motor homes, you just have to find one that has your windshield. Most will ship to you. Personally, I would go for a used one only if a new one cannot be found.

Good luck!

If you have or can borrow a copy of Family Motorcoaching (the FMCA magazine) RVGlass solutions always advertises there.

1st Thanks to those who replied.
2nd Any members in the San Francisco bay area (SanJose?) who can recommend a reputable, experienced with motorhomes, glass shop? A good mechanic would also be extremely helpful. I'm new to this area. Thanks to all for your help...Nakoni
