Slide a straight edge, such as a ruler, behind the
glass and make a slicing motion back and forth.
The mirror glass will come free.
Remove the glass after the adhesive has been
cut. Some adhesive will remain on the mirror
carrier. These adhesive spots are soft and
pressure sensitive. They will adhere again when
the glass is reinserted.
FIGURE 17: REAR VIEW MIRROR GLASS REMOVAL
To re-insert the glass, slide one side under the
over-hang tab and spread the opposite over-
hang tab with the wedge until the mirror glass is
permitted to snap or drop in place.
10.1.4 Windshield Wipers
Refer to Paragraph “Windshield Wipers and
Washers”, included in Section 23: Accessories
of the Maintenance Manual for complete
information on windshield wipers.
10.1.5 Windshield
The windshield is single-glazed AS-1 laminated
safety glass. Each windshield is secured to a
flange around the front structure opening by a
one-piece black rubber extruded gasket.
FIGURE 18: WINDSHIELD
A low profile gasket with a single locking strip is
used on our vehicles.
Proper installation of the windshield ensures
watertightness. Since glass varies in fit
depending on the supplier, we recommend
installing a replacement windshield obtained
from Prevost Parts to ensure proper fit.
10.1.5.1 Hydrophobic Treatment on Side
Windows
The new low profile window gasket creates an
airflow that is closer to the vehicle. This reduces
air drag but window soiling of the side windows
becomes more likely.
A specific water repelling treatment is factory
applied to the driver's and entrance door
windows to counter this effect and prevent
window soiling.
We suggest renewing the water repelling
treatment each year or more frequently
depending on operating conditions.
If you notice increased soiling on the driver's and
entrance door windows after several months of
operation, the water repelling treatment can be
renewed by making an appointment with your
nearest Prevost Service Center.
The Hydrophobic compound is specially
formulated for Prevost and can only be applied
