We went on a search for more of the same brand of tint that we used on the hallway window and managed to find one roll that I thought was long enough to do the remaining 2 windows in the front of the bus.

Unfortunately, I misread the label and thought that it was 20 feet long.  Turns out that it was only 12.5 feet long, so we were about a foot short of being able to do both windows.

Becky went on another hunt for the same brand and level of tint while I worked on cleaning off all of the attempted patch jobs from the front windows.

I have a couple of quotes for re-sealing/replacing the window rubber and making it look better.  Both quotes I got were lower if I cleaned and prepped the front windows ahead of time so all they had to do was work on getting it sealed and bad spots replaced.

As you can see I got quite a bit of silicone and rubber sealer off the window.  The silicone came off without any effort.  It peels right off and didn't stick to the rubber at all.  I doubt it was doing anything at all to seal up any leaks.  I can see why they make special sealants for window rubber.  That stuff was a nightmare to clean off...  It sticks to everything.

Becky made it back with a roll of window tint that was a perfect match and made by the same company.

The whole roll just barely covered the window.  There was only about 1/4 inch to spare so you know what happened...  Right after we got the protective coating off and were about to apply it to the window, the edge curled stuck to itself.  In the process of trying to un-stick the  tint from itself I tore a nice chunk of the edge off.

I managed to get the corner patched with a piece of the tint from an area that we had to trim off anyway, so it all worked out in the end and other than something that looks like a very minor scratch you can't tell that we patched it at all.

Once the tint was all in place and the bubbles and air worked out Becky helped me work on getting most of the front windshield finished up.

I don't have a good before picture, but trust me the picture you see to the left shows the window rubber after our initial cleaning - trust me it is really impressive compared to what we started with.
