New glass for 2009

[AirstreamATX]

2009 19" International needs new rear emergency window glass. Has any one ever fouund a good way to replace just the glass in a rear window of a newer airstream? Did you use regular glass shop or does anyone have any suggestions, Has anyone been able to order just the replacement glass with hardware attached? My dealer said I must order the entire frame and not just the glass.

I was able to get replacement glass for our 2009 25' FB Flying Cloud from our local (Portland, OR) AS dealer. He had it in stock so it was just a matter of driving down to pick it up. It came with the brackets that the open/close arms fit into and the top "hinge" pre-installed.

Perhaps your dealer misunderstood what you were asking for. I wouldn't think you would need to buy both the glass and frame to get the glass.

If you don't have a parts manual, you can get it from the Airstream web site as a .pdf file for free. In it you can find the part number for the glass and, better yet, be looking at that page when you talk to the parts guy. Most likely he'll be looking at that same page on his computer!
