If it helps, the RV and GXL 70 series have full windows. This is on the 76,78,79 series with the rounded top corner on the door. Workmate and Muster have the 1/4 glass.
Afaik, no 75's with pointy corner on the window frame had full windows. Doors with the rounded corner have remained unchanged from 1985 to 2015. That a good run.

I might be looking for two hood protectors in the near future.
Is the picture in post #150 one of the slim weathershields?
We might have some when you decide you want them
No, those are the chubbies....
Slimline looks like this.....
UPDATE
An exciting day - waiting on delivery of shipping materials but did a hand delivery of a bonnet protector and Dougs Tub (thanks, Christian) and had a long call with the manufacturer in Australia. As the earlier 70 Series had vent windows the side window weather guards they sell are not suitable for rigs without vents.
Our supplier is working on a production mould that will fit our European / JDM one piece windows. Pretty impressed with their willingness to work with us......keep ya posted.
PS - We understand the trimline side units are what is wanted.

Got it, thank you!
Our pleasure - sorry this is such a convoluted process but we will figure it out.....

UPDATEThose of you for whom I have emails have received PP requests for payment.
If you HAVE NOT received a PP request, then I don't have your email or have lost it.....
If you want a bonnet protector and HAVE NOT received an emailed PP request, please PM me with your contact info/mailing address and email address.
Thanks

Sent you my info!
Thanks, Mickey. I will ship today. Most of us in North America do not have the vent windows, so we will try to get the supplier to do up a batch for our needs. Will require new plastic molds and to build a prototype, they need an early 70 Series without vents.....
Keep you all posted, but if we do the no-vent side protectors, they will be very lightly tinted trimlines.
