Unsuccessfully looked for a recently posted thread where the member expressed concern about the possible difficulty finding DW730 and DW731 windshield glass replacement. I have a local (Pittsburgh area) community glass shop who purportedly has arranged to have both shipped. Total price 650-$700, including shipping, don't remember exactly. Price did not include installation in that I do not care to have them installed now. I asked him if he could arrange sales to other areas in the country. He said probably. Once my sale is completed and I confirm he's interested in other sales I will post his contact information. He was not able to find the windshield rubber replacement. If anyone knows a source, please inform. Thanks. | ||

I had no problem in replacing the PPG windshields (DW 730/731) The difficulties are with the older Barth windshields.

As with Rusty, I have had no problem getting 730/731 windshields. Any glass shop can get them for far less than the above quoted price. '92 Barth Breakaway - 30' 5.9 Cummins (6B) 300+ HP 2000 Allison Front entrance | |||

Is the rubber extrusion that holds the glass in the frame available and where? 1971 24 ft Barth Continental P30 chassis 350 engine | |||

Duane, search our site. I do remember a member posting the replacement rubber for a Barth. | |||

Most of the posts suggest the extrusion is a standard product from about any auto window glass installer. I am curious why most folks try to repair the leaks. rather than have someone replace the extrusion? 1971 24 ft Barth Continental P30 chassis 350 engine | |||

Duane, MY guess is better try to stop a leak, rather than take the chance at breaking the windshield. On the other hand I agree install a new gasket if you are installing a NEW windshield. | |||

$562, incl. tax, delivered to my driveway. I consider the total price for both windshields reasonable, notwithstanding the difficulty to acquire. In regards to the rubber extrusion/seal, he could not identify a specific listing. He anticipates this not to be a future problem in that "90 percent of the original seals adequate to receive replacement glass", and that "universal" rubber seal extrusion is readably available. I stand by my recommendation for those of us who foresee "Barthing" for twenty or so years, good Lord willing (with this site not unreasonable) that you consider shelving a couple of these. Just read the war stories of earlier Barth models owners. At least the windshields market value appreciation may well be pleasing to your survivors. | |||

Sounds like a reasonable price. Where did you finally get them? I agree: I have a spare DW730 already, will chase down a 731 soon. I also have a rubber extrusion I got from the PO, unfortunately no source info with it. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Each windshield was $170 and total shipping was $222, cash deal. I believe he told me he could arrange to have shipped elsewhere so long as it was another glass shop. The business contact info. is: Community Glass Service, Pittsburgh, PA, (412)653-0656. Apparently a husband (Bill)and wife operation. | |||

Thanks for contact info. I got my windshield from a local glass co but for some reason they could only get the pass side. Paid about $200 out the door (about 4 years ago) I should chase down the other one fo these days. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||
