So, my son went to close the side window and pushed it out a little while we were doing 30min and the bracket broke and window flew out to the Atlantic Ocean.

I am in south jersey if anyone has a recommended place to fix, or a place to call that can help me out

You may be able to get the aluminum hinge material from Marine Specialty Glass in FL. The glass is a bigger problem. The shops don’t like drilling the hole in “school bus glass”. Lee an is ok. I had several tempered glass replacements made a few years ago.

Marine glass specialty did a replacement on for my 265. Also call around to local dealers, you may get lucky.

Most glass dealers have a supplier that they can send a template to replicate the glass you lost. I replace mine 2 years ago. I just took the opposite window to the glass shop. they made a template and I had an exact replica 5 days later.

How did you take the hinge out?
