Ken,

I like your choice of color for nail polish. Very flattering.

I recently broke the window extension rod and received a new one from Prevost. I think I can unscrew the broken one and screw in the new. Has anyone ever changed this rod and how is it done? Thanks for the info.

Denny, I was trying mine this AM and noted that it freely turns in the mount, at least it appeared so. I was looking at it with regard to the extensions and not its removal. It may in fact unscrew, but I could not see well enough through the screen and did not want to remove it.

I noted that the segments are attached to each other by a split pin. Depending what needs replacing on yours, you could remove and add a section if that is what it needs. ( be careful there is a spring loaded plunger between segments) The whole gizmo seems to be made of delrin plastic?

You could add another section and make it longer as with the non existent $8.00 extension.

There may be a set screw that runs in a groove in the end of the first link and holds it in place while allowing it to revolve.

Can you get those extensions long enough as to adjust the window from the drivers seat?

[Denny]

Jim,
Mine broke right at the window where the short piece attaches to the window and the next longer piece attaches to it. The short window piece has a top and bottom with the next longer section fitting in between, in male/female fashion. These two pieces are pinned together just as the other ones are. I have the new window extension rod that I ordered from Prevost.

Haven't had to work on it yet but I thought I would check with the POG brain trust before I mess the window up.


Lew,
Since this small piece was a $100 you don't want one long enough to open windows from the driver's seat.

Got the window rod installed tonight. Once I looked at it, it was a simple fix.
