    Lost a window on our trip this weekend....yikes....



    So someone forgot to latch one of the windows on our 69' Land Yacht....the rest of the story in on the side of the highway in WI. But I found some for sale from a 72' Land Yacht. Will these work???

    Wont work.
    See photo comparison below.
    You didnt say what model so this is a 27ft Overlander for the
    purpose of comparison.
    1969 on the left. 1972 on the right.

    The good news is most windows are readily available these days.

    I remember not too long ago a time when needing a Corning Curved
    window was nearly impossible. I remember watching one go on ebay
    for $900. One window.

    Glad to hear of others misfortune, for some morbid reason.

    It's actually one of the side windows where the twin beds are. I emailed the dimensions to the seller of the window, but haven't heard back. So maybe they won't work. What does one do about fixing this, aside from combing the highway, bending what's left back into shape & getting a new piece of glass???
