I saw three 15w's at BBB in Havasu. I stopped counting 23w's at 10.

So what you are saying is that I should not put my 23 window roof clip on my 15 window?

If you were a friend of mine I'd suggest not putting it on...

What I've never understood is where these clips come from, the amount of work to cut off a roof cut off a donor clip, then patch it onto another bus which you probably have to fix the rockers on is going to be as much work as just fixing the donor bus.

And if the argument is the floor was rusted out because the sunroof and the upper windows leaked... why would you want them?

Roof clips are for rusty Kombis, silly rabbit.

If your 15 window roof is shot then go ahead. If you're looking to increase the value of your 15 window...forget it. Who wants a hack because that's how it will be viewed even if you do know what you're doing.

The original plan was to replace a damaged roof section with a 23 roof section. But I can not find any other 15 windows at shows other than the biggies. But even then there are way fewer than 23 windows. It is becoming more appearant over the last 6 months or so that these 15 windows are harder to find the their overpriced brethren. I have a very late 63 that was almost a 13 window had it been made much later.
