I've left my trailer at the glass place to get a new glass pane installed. Calling around on this was interesting.
1. The dealer had two solutions, use a local guy that they sub-contract to and they gave me his number or order a new window from the mfg. If they order a new one, they order the entire window insert; frame, all 3 windows, etc.
2. The dealer's local guy said he has to order DOT only glass. The company that he uses is out of state, it takes 6 weeks, and they send an entirely new window insert with a new frame but it will only have 1 window and I will lose the small bottom window that opens.
3. The local glass place is big enough that they have more capabilities. They will take the old frame out, take it apart enough to put in a new tempered tinted dual-pane window. I get to put the interior wood trim back in place. This is at least half the price of the other solutions the dealer provided.
I'll find out this week how it works out when the new glass comes in.
