I have started this new thread here for better visibility on this subject.
I offered to buy a box of 10 windshields at the incredible price of $79 each over on the wiper blade thread. So far I have people signed up for 12 windshields. They are located all over the country. There may be more demand than this even. For the XL coaches, the right and left are identical.
The idea was to bring them to OKC in October and hand them out. I need to be sure the box will fit in a storage bay. Anybody have the dimensions? Prevost has them shipped from a warehouse in Ohio and they can not tell me the size of the box.
I also asked about the smaller upper windshields. The ones tinted really dark to let only 9% of the light through are $190 and not in stock. The ones tinted to 28% like the side windows are $317 and are in stock. He said the next reorder for the $190 ones would go through but would also likely raise the price on future sales. FYI. Maybe we should get some of those too?
It might be sensible to have more than one order placed, depending on location of the end owner. Remember, packaging them for transport once you get them at OKC will entail some effort. I carry one spare in the back of my clothes closet, standing on it's bottom. It only takes up 1/4 inch that way. I have a little bracket I screwed to the back wall to hold it in place.
Here is the list of those signed up, and their location so far. The sale runs until May 31 (and actually does not start until April 1).
2 GMC Buffalo- Portland Oregon
1-2 Pete Petree Sealy Tx
2 Tom Truk Georgia?
2 Jon Wehrenberg- Tennessee
2 Jim Chaloupka NY
1-2 Me Washington State
Let's get a final tally and then decide who will order, etc.
