I checked with Duncan Systems and Guardian and they both say that all Barth coaches from the early 70's to the late 90's should be he DW 731 for the driver side and DW 730 passenger side. Please let me know if we are wrong here. This would include all models including widebody Regency's which had a small glass strip to add the 6 inches for the widebody coach.

Hi Terry, below are pictures of a 70's 20 footer and a 90's Regency. They both have the same windshield. Does yours appear much longer than these? When you say 30 inches is that the visible glass area you are measuring? I would not be surprized if Barth custom made something. However, a unique windshield would be surprizing. You should have a part number or some identification etched in the windshield down in a corner somewhere. Have you been able to find that and check it with your local glass company?

I will go to the storage yard to check on numbers. The two pictures are Barths with 30" tall glass (same as mine). What confused me was the earily post referencing a dw730 to a 24" windshield and the same number was suggested for my 30".
Thanks, we'll figure this out yet.

Terry I am sorry because I am too lazy right now to run out and measure it, however, I wonder if the visible glass may be 24 in, but the windshield is actually 28 or so. I am still convinced that all Barth have the same windshield.

I may as well chuck my 2 cents in...our '73 25 Limited has 21 1/2" exposed glass. With what is under the rubber, I'd guess it's probably a 24".

Seems that the windshield change-over from 24 to 30" was 1974. Thanks to all for input.
