See above post, plus everyone I’ve seen done there the bondo joints have been busted out within 2 yrs. You get what you pay for. Geo.

You nailed it George…
-
2 yrs? That it? I thought they are reputable…I will reconsider.

Pay very close attention to what Geo said about the “cheap” way to do it.
Having the modification done correctly will not be inexpensive and if someone is willing to do it for significantly less than others something is likely wrong.

When looking at H’s, if I see a 2-windshield H-3 older than 2003, is it determining that the “front cap” was replaced with a Prevost front cap to ensure it’s not the cheap way.?
I say this since I’ve seen several older H’s with 2-windshields and I had not considered this an issue until this post.
Thanks for the heads-up everyone & for Geo chatting with me … much easier sometimes.

Upgrading the appearance of a coach when done correctly is the equivalent of a brand new coach. There is no loss of strength or quality.
It is not inexpensive and the use of all Prevost parts drives a lot of the cost. There is substantial labor involved and when the disassembly and reassembly is complete the paint work is also very expensive, depending on the complexity of the original paint.
I think Geo said it best regarding you get what you pay for.
If I were buying an H3 that had been modified from the 4 windshields to the 2 windshields I would want to see the paperwork and proof it used genuine Prevost parts and no knock-offs because the risk of having to repair the modifications in the future may be significant.
Just as a side note, the company that used genuine Prevost parts to create a set of molds so imitation parts could be used created a serious problem for all legitimate paint and body shops doing repairs and upgrades. Prevost was very unhappy the parts it spends a lot of money engineering and tooling up for were being used to create replacement parts. As a result legitimate purchasers of H3 front end parts found themselves having to jump through a lot of hoops to prove they were not going do the same thing, but were in fact using the parts they purchased to modify or repair coaches to Prevost standards of quality.
If a company is willing to cheat Prevost, would they be willing to cheat you?
