Subject: Re: window replacement, almost back on the road
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
In various vans thru the years all the break-ins I've had have been thru
that window. If you can get one from a junk yard, it bolts in pretty
easily. You might need a Torx bit.
Good luck,
