2019 Hawk with the front dinette configuration.
We were just starting north on the Dempster Hwy, when a passing truck threw up a rock which shattered the back half of the left window. Fortunately with some salvaged cardboard and duct tape, we were able to get to Tuk and all of the way back to Colorado with this fix.
The glass was the sliding part of the window . It's smoked and tempered glass, and just has an aluminum extrusion along the front edge, with the locking handle in it. The extrusion was salvageable.
Has anyone ever had to replace this glass? Any advice on where to get a replacement or where to get the work done?
Also, to make the field fix, I operated the emergency exit to take the window unit out of the frame. On seeing the way that the emergency exit just hinges on a couple of sheet metal screws that go through the top of the frame and which kinda tear through the frame, it occurred to me that perhaps the emergency exit is not meant to be reused?
Cheers,
Charlie
