Mike,I don't have a '7, but do have a 4905 with the vista view windows. My one was Plexi and the other broken (I think OOPS by me but don't tell the wife) and both were painted over on the outside when I got the bus. I like the "bus" look and am going to maintain it. So, I bought a pair of NOS windows(made from Unobtainium) and new seals from Luke, and replaced the pair myself. The benefit is that it lets more light into the living/kitchen area of my coach, and makes it seem less like a 40' long metal tube! The dark tint(factory) keeps folks from looking in, but doesn't really block that much light if you're looking out.I did cover over my destination window with steel(the front cap is steel), and used pop rivets(3/32 dia) I think. The only problem I encountered is that the lip is not that wide, maybe 1/4", so keeping the rivet holes away from either edge was a challenge, and in fact some are on the very edge of the material, but I used plenty(and of course glued it too) , so it shouldn't ever be a problem.I imagine the vista windows for a '7 are hard to find, but worth it!Remember ---It is yours, so you can do it your own way!Steve ToomeyPAbusnut
Hi; Why do you want to remove those windows? I also have a MC-7 and like them. Merle.
Hi Mike,Those windows were a major source of heat here on the East Coast when we had your bus. I tried a number of different things but we finally decided to sheet them over with metal & foam insulate below. Of course, I didn't get that done. You will remember there is a small leak there somewhere that I think is in the rubber gasket. It was there when we bought the bus & it was there when you bought it too. I never could find it.My advice is to think about what you want to do in terms of heat & fixing that leak. Tell Lori hi for Phyllis & me! Hope you guys are doing well.TOM
