Any good service tech knows that when your in a pinch stripping a part off your own equipment is a perfectly acceptable way to get the job done!

The Demo Van was equipped with one window featuring the new 'Emperor' Glass -- a glass so clear you'd swear there is no glass there at all.

The message on the missing glass read... "We don't use OEM parts and we pass the savings on to you!"
