    Good Day All,

    I come from the High-Line Fiberglass world and besides a couple of Eagles left in one of my shops I am new to the Bus world. I have owned my coach for just over a month and am quite happy, kicking myself for the amount of money I dumped into my previous coaches. Other than little things nothing is wrong with my coach, though on my recent trip to PA I discovered some issues. Being both of my trapezoid windows are leaking, TracStar needs and LNB, DDEC (or similar) display in dash has gone out, and the Entry window has fogged. I spoke with someone at the Nashville branch about window replacement prior to purchasing the coach, as one had cracked. One thing I brought up was updating the coach to newer “modern” frameless windows. No one met me with real opposition. I’ve done more research and still think its possible. Bringing me to why I’m posting…

    1) Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY installed framless windows in an older H3?

    2) Any known issues with dash display, and/or simple fix?

    Thanks!

    Welcome to PC Matt and congratulations on your H purchase. If your front fogged window is flat glass, you can get it repaired in Hudson, FL at Suncoast. Can’t answer your question on the other glass.

    Thanks for the info Tom. If your referring to the front glass, other than a chip I got in the passenger lower on the way up she’s all good; though I’m likely going to update both front and rear. This really has become a disease, for me, I buy used coaches remodel/update and loose money on the other end. But I enjoy it, so… Hoping its different in Prevost (maybe it’ll hold its value a little bit better).

    Matt,

    Welcome to PC, I have bad news however. We all go through the same process you do. We buy one, spend money on it and sell it for less and repeat the process.

    Hard to believe we are all making the same mistake isn’t it?
