My windows came from a local place that makes camper tops for pickup trucks. I stopped by there one day to see what they had and was lucky enough to find a few windows that they used to use in the alum. camper tops they made. They now make fiberglass tops only. They sold the "outdated to them" windows for $15 each. :thumbsup: I should have bought all they had. Anyhow you may look around for a local topper manufacturer. I thought it was odd there was one around here then I found out that there is 3 within about 50 miles.

Thanks,
Mark

Same for me, although it was about 100miles away, not that local. This place still makes their aluminum tops so I paid $30ea for the windows.

I was thinking that I should have bought a couple pairs too. If I build another one, it will save me a trip. If I never build another one, someone else who needs them would probasbly take them off my hands.

Not sure where you're at in western PA but if you are anywhere near a Trader Horn check them out. I know they cary a variety of mobile home stuff and I have seen crank out windows there on occasion.

What about windows from a chrysler minivan? Would they work or are they too curved?
