Hi Jim,

Thank you for visiting the website. Most all local glass guys get their RV glass from Duncan Systems. http://www.duncansys.com/rvglass.htm they have your windshield in stock. Expect to pay $900 to $1K installed. Your local glass guy will pay around $400 for the glass so you will want to get a number of bids. There is also a company called Coach Glass http://www.coachglass.com/ which also supplies glass for RV's.

I always advise folks to check at least three glass installers who's offices are near RV lots so they have a lot of experience.

One other thing. Your Barth is virtually all aluminum with the exception of the frame which holds your windshield. There is a chance that some rusting has taken place on that frame. Glass installer have a special Mylar type tape which can seal that metal frame and then the glass goes over the tape. This will increase the black frame around your windshield by about an 1/8 of an inch but will keep you from having any leaks around the top of your windshield.

Best of luck and let us know how things came out.

There is an RV auto salvage yard near Joplin, MO you might check with. I saw they have a 1990 Barth they are parting out.

That is an awfully strange looking 1990 Barth... It just might be a 1980 Regal. The windshields look OK too, unless what I think is a reflection is really smashed glass.
Cheers, John

That 1990 and the 1970's something at Colaw has been cannibalized for about a year or more. Fred Shekorra got a relay off of the '90 almost 2 years ago. I have had the Barth insignia's sitting on my desk for at least that long. They sent me three of them and one was used for the trophy for the first annual Barth open last June.

By the way, I do not want to sound uncool but who would want to contact the Anthony's who just totaled their coach to see where the pieces went. I need two un-rusted head light frames..
