Driver’s Side Window

This window section shall slide in tracks or channels designed to last the service life of the bus.The operator’s side window shall not be bonded in place and shall be easily replaceable. The glazing material shall have a single-density tint.

The driver’s view, perpendicular through operator’s side window glazing, should extend a minimum of 33 in. (840 mm) to the rear of the heel point on the accelerator, and in any case must accommodate a 95th percentile male operator. The view through the glazing at the front of the assembly should begin not more than 26 in. (560 mm) above the operator’s floor to ensure visibility of an under-mounted convex mirror. Driver’s window construction shall maximize ability for full opening of the window.
