RE: [A/S] Window

Robert (Bob, RF, Rob,Bobby ?),

Right now there are probably three options.  
*Find a '59 to '65 trailer in a boneyard or dealer backlot (doubtful), or 
*Take the back window out and armed with the inside dimensions of both front an back window openings, head to a:
-Machine shop
-Welding shop
-Irrigation shop
-Aluminum Fabrication shop
and have them weld up or mill out of aluminum the four side pieces that comprise the window frame.  The original extrusion is no longer available from Hehr or Airstream.

*The last option is to install a new window in the old opening (screwed into the existing frame).  Below are a couple of windows that should fit.  Fixed side panels and center jalousie style middle sections would look somewhat vintage.  One drawback is the color: white, black or brown.

It will probably require removing the upper frame extrusion that the old window hung from.  You can always sell the opener on the VAC parts classifieds.

I think I have a layout for the '59 Flying Cloud, but don't think it is on the website yet.  Watch the index page for when something gets posted:
