One of the features I really like about my bus is the large side windows. I want to retain as much glass as I can, and in fact the front pair of windows are going to stay exactly as they are. I also want other windows further back as well, but the existing ones are just too big to fit in with the conversion. The problem is that the windows on my coach are all double-glazed, tinted, and worst of all, curved. I just know that fitting a set of RV-style windows is going to look awful, and no doubt cost me a fortune too.
What I really want to do is to get a couple of my existing windows cut down to a smaller size, so that when refitted they match the original windows further forward. Is this feasible? I'm hoping that the double glazed units could be disassembled, each pane cut, and then reassembled again by a glass specialist. I have a nagging feeling though that I've heard that old glass becomes brittle and very difficult to cut, and I'm not sure as well whether coach side windows are regular glass or toughened or something else special that cannot be worked.
Anyone got any experience of this?
Thanks
