Front and Back Window Broken

Hello,
I just got my AS and need to replace the Front Window and Back Window as they are broke out. I watched some videos on you-tube on how to replace them I just am not sure on what size tempered glass to buy from my local glass salesman. It's a 26ft 67 Overlander. Here are some pictures of it. Does any one know what those measurements are or where I might obtain them?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Been diggin now for a bit on the internet and found some places to order. They say that the front and back windows are the same, meaning you can order the front and use it in the back or vice versa. 39 x 20.5 is the size they give. Does that sound right?

Can you list the places you found for glass replacements? I'm also looking to replace a window.

TIA, Mike

Got it at a local glass shop. They sell glass for about everything (Showers, Tables, windows, cars, rv windows). Places like this are in every city. Just gave them the dimensions 39 x 20.5 x 1/8 and for that size in tempered it was $43 and ready for pickup in 3 days. Installed it today and looks good.

For what it's worth, I made a window for mine from 5mm polycarbonate "Makrolon" glazing material. It is UV and scratch resistant, and will never break. It was not difficult to do.

That would have been perfect for the front window. I'm sure I will bust it out with a rock from a tire eventually and will go with that next time.

The front and back window should be easier than the side windows because they're flat. But I've had no problems with the one that I made; it flexes easily and doesn't not leak.

It shouldn't be too difficult to measure them, and as I recall, the distance of the latch strikes (vertical and horizontal) is the same on all windows.
