'75 Sovereign front window

you would find one in a new window, or a used replacement window.

Some hardware stores offer corner brackets made of steel which may work for your issue. A pic of the broken piece may help identify a replacement for you.

While it's unlikely the AS plant has it, what could it hurt to ask?

Coming back to reality, perhaps a larger wrecker, like Colaws, might have it...

Airstream will not sell parts like that.

What kind of glass are using?

What kind of gasket for the glass are you using?

Could you post a picture, as I may have one. I've got a complete front window frame in the basement.

Is that the frame around the window itself. Can you dimension it for me as I most likely can just make one.
