Getting ready to remove the windshields of our Eagle 01. Anyone know the weight? Can one person remove it?
Thanks,
Paul |

I don't know exactly the weight of the windshield--I'd guess 25 to 35 lbs.
Yes, one person can remove it.
1- Remove the locking ring first.
2- With a utility knife cut the rubber seal between the window frame and windshield. Then lift it right out
3- DO NOT TRY AND REUSE THE OLD SEAL.
Jefferson Bus in Oklahoma City is where I got new seals. Good people to deal with--they know Eagles.
I found that the windshields are MUCH EASIER to handle with a couple of suckson cups with handles. Harbor Freight is where I got mine. Very in expense.
Enjoying the journey in NC,

I received the rubber seal yesterday from Norris at Jefferson. Good price I must say. You are right, they know Eagles! Harbor Freight here I come, was there yesterday, didn't think of suction cups when I was there.
Thanks Gene,
Paul

Don't know about your glass. The rubbers for our Eagle 01 windshield cost about $130.00 delivered, this includes the lock strip.

They are a lot more from Silver Eagle, just could not get them. They were out of stock and waiting for a call from their supplier. Took three weeks to find that out. That's why I went to Norris, should have done that to begin with. Ordered them on Monday, they were delivered yesterday.

If you set up a section of scaffolding at the front of the coach, it will go a lot easier. |

Great Idea John, I will have to consider doing that. Anything to keep from dropping one!
Thanks,
