Anyone have a rear window or advice for repairing the fixed aluminum rear window on my 68 Shasta Compact? It is covered with multiple layers of silicone and other sealant, came apart at the corners when I took it out, and had part of the lower lip cut away by the PO when they installed a window A/C unit on one side. I'd ideally like a replacement fixed glass window in good condition, or at least suggestions on cleaning up the existing frame and joining the corners back together. They look like they were glued together with something gray like JB Weld. Thanks!

Try Trailertrasher1@gmail.com He sells used parts in Calif. There's a new person in Minnesota, Prairie Works, just starting out on eBay. Another place in Peru, Indiana and Fletchers in NY.
You can go a little bigger but if you're using the original skins, you can't go smaller...

If you you can source a local to you welding shop the frame can be repaired with Tig or Mig welding and use pure argon for the weld. Danny

What size is the existing window opening? You might be able to find a jalousie window to replace the fixed, with a little luck. I know it has been done before.
