Need help with a LEER camper issue.

Ok guys if you have a leer camper or know anything about them I need your help. About 2 weeks ago i accidently broke one of my windows on my camper by dropping it. I thought ok no biggie I'll just order a replacement from Leer. I contact my closest Leer dealer and talk to a representative who asked for details and the serial of my camper. A week later the rep calls to tell me she talked to LEER and they can't find any record of that model as there database does not go back to 1992. The Rep. asks for some more details and ANOTHER week goes by before she calls me and says they STILL can't find anything on it. The rep then wants to know the measurements of the glass but I don't have the camper with me at the moment so I'm stuck. How can LEER not have any record of my camper. I just want a replacement glass


The serial number is E2986341
If anyone knows the model number or name that would be greatly appreciated.

Here's some pictures.... I need the LONG glass towards the rear of the camper.

Is there a LEER dealer near you ?, you might try going there if you can so they can see it, that might help.

You see thats the thing. The leer dealer is just a camper shop. There the middle man in this operation. I call them and they call LEER.

To me it looks like a long flat peice of glass. If thats the case and its not curved you could use a peice of lexan/polycarbonate. My neighbor did that after he broke one of his canopy windows. He went to Home Depot and found a bulk peice that he could cut to shape.

hmmm..why not go to a glass shop and talk to them/

Or get a piece of smoked Makrolan or Lexan and cut it to fit yourself? My guess it would be cheaper than going through Leer.
I have cut and polished the edge of a couple of rear windows for my Trekker:
That Canopy is 18 years old on a truck model that is 16 years old.

I got lucky and found a sheet of Makrolan on craigslist, the lady said black plexiglass, $20

Here is what I did with a scrap, it flexes pretty dang good so I think I won't be doing my rear window for a long time...just need to see how Corey 's (slacker) rear seal material works out...

No way you get ever do that with plexiglass
