I went online at autoglassnational.com, got a quote for a '93GMC van (as per archive) and placed an order at $251.71 installed at our place in Hayesville, N.C.. I will post again when we see what happens. They quote all over the US for mobile replacement.

Don, I sure don't want to set-off any panic alarms, but your reference to an Astro "van" windshield is a little disconcerting.......

For my '79 Barth, the windshield is indeed from an "Astro"....a GMC/Chevy Astro cab-over heavy tractor, i.e.:

There is also an "Astro Van", a minivan marketed by GMC/Chevy until just recently....but I have to doubt that the windshield is anywhere close to any model of Barth.....

Google-in "Astro, Truck, Van" in the IMAGES section to see what I mean.......

The internet site contacted me and told me that they don't replace MH windshields. I went to a local glass company in Murphy, N.C.(Curtis Glass), gave them the DW731 number and they replaced the windshield for $223.86 so we had the passenger side done also.

How does Duncan get away with charging $900 for their glass. Any glass experts out there? Is there a difference in glass that makes a difference?

And, I have noticed a couple older Barths where the windshield start to get milky around the edges. What causes that?

"I have noticed a couple older Barths where the windshield start to get milky around the edges. What causes that?"

Older Winnies are notorius for that...has to do with edge seal being broken between glass and inner plastic membrane...moisture gets trapped between layers....No cure or correction other than R&R.......

Milkiness is probably no more than a common characteristic of laminated safety glass, caused by air, or moisture intrusion as it ages.
