Thanks for the response Steve.
The MV does have westy windows (I assume) since I do have screens now.
It's just that they have been broken and glued a few times and it
would be nice to have pretty new ones :)
The picture on your new website helps very much.
I'll check back in a month or so for the westy style ones.
