Make a Permanent custom Cabover Window Cover
Having an older Class C with the obsolete cabover window has given rise for concern over leaking or the glass shattering. Most Class C manufacturers have dropped the window from their line. We never open the curtains on ours as we have the reflective sunscreen silver colored sheet to help with heat or cooling. The cost to permanently remove the window and repair the hole can range from $3,500 to $6,500.
Do any of you with fiberglass experience think a cover can be fabricated in an oversized rectangle shape to cover the front window. Perhaps bolts for mounting it can be impregnated within the cover. A good rubber or butyl seal could be applied on the edges. Then have a template for drilling holes thru to the inside where washers and nuts can be used to secure it. The orignal glass and frame can stay in and the curtains will cover the glass and the bolts, washers and nuts. Perhaps, some sort of plug can be made so you can insert in the bolt holes in the evnt you want to remove the fiberglass cover.
This would look something like the rock/debris shield mounted on the front of TTs to prevent damage.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
