    Thank you! On our 1988 34V, I could not get the bead to fit my curved windows and assumed it was my incompetence. I had to replace the old bead. Looking forward to what you find that will work!

      Suzanne, just doing a follow up to you. we have been so busy this summer we have not had a chance to send out a small piece of our original glass bead from the curved windows to some of the vendors yet. Thankfully our “patch job” of reusing the old stuff has held fine on several camping trips now this summer. We may not get to the curved windows again till our spring punch list. Best to you and thank you for following our blog!! —Luisa

    Hi there, really enjoyed this instructional, thank you for taking the time to put it together. Did you ever get an update on a suitable curved window glass bead for the front? We’re having the same issue finding a suitable replacement. Thanks!

    I recently reglazed the windows on my 1990 30P and ran into the same issue with the bead/trim on the front curved windows. I noticed the curved windows aren’t seated as properly against the metal ridge as the side windows. In fact, the windows appear to have shifted significantly and wondering if this is why the new bead/trim doesn’t fit. Did you happen to notice this too?
    Thanks.
