Those faux overcab windows March 24, 2012, 08:35:01 pm Yahoo Message Number: 129374I repainted my 2000 MB faux overcab windows, not black, but with a Lazy Daze color. I went to an Auto Parts store that puts together spray cans of auto paint and had them make up a can of Lazy Daze green and used that to repaint those faux windows. Look GREAT. Matches the rest of the RV which the black never did. Dan Zoll

It definitely looks better than the old black fake windows, and in my humble opinion it even looks better than the new sculptured white overcab.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Re: Those faux overcab windows Reply #13 – March 25, 2012, 11:42:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 129408You should be happy that you have those faux overcab windows! I'd love to have them, even if they were painted orange!! My SOB has a glass window across the front of the cabover, and last fall I had a large bird fly into it as I was driving down the road at about 55 mph. BANG and we 'enjoyed' a shower of safety glass raining down on us. It's all fixed now and I think that I have all of the glass removed but what a mess!Glen w/SOB in AZ[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: Those faux overcab windows - older LDs had a glass window Reply #16 – March 26, 2012, 09:16:03 pm Yahoo Message Number: 129431My SOB has a glass window Quoteacross the front of the cabover, and last fall I had a large bird fly into it as I was driving down the road at about 55 mph. BANG and we 'enjoyed' a shower of safety glass raining down on us. It's all fixed now and I think that I have all of the glass removed but what a mess!Glen w/SOB in AZ The older LDs had a glass window and the cab over was made out of aluminum (not fiberglass as the present ones are.) There is one parked in our neighborhood that has a dent in the cabover between the edge of the window and the side edge of the LD. He said that he was driving on CA highway 395 and a roadrunner bird flew up in front of him and he hit it. It did not hit the window or damage the window. I think that LD has learned that the difficulty of keeping that glass front window sealed against leaks is not worth the trouble.Ken in San Diego
