Hey Tom,

We started out with a new 1967 Overlander International 26'L [#1267-J-954], purchased June 3, 1967. We had the trailer for ten years, and the only problem that I can still remember was with those windows.

The difficulty was not with the glass breaking, but with stress caused by winds working the glass out of the metal strip that secures it in place. I was able to work them back in place along with some sealer, but became very sensitive to the potential of strong crosswinds. [The one over the sink was cleanly out of the slot and laying along the upper surface above the window.] We were at an I-80 rest stop west of Des Moines, and after the wind died down I taped it in place with good old duct tape.

My recommendation is to pay close attention to the weather, and routinely check the status of each window in its slot.

If you enjoy your '67 as much as we did, you're going to have a great time.

Bud
