Hehr Clearview windows were found on trailers for a limited time in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Airstreams used them from 1958 to 1960 on most (but not all) trailers. The windows were Hehr's first attempt at making large windows without any vertical center channels obstructing the view, thus designated a "clear view." The windows were discontinued within a few years and replaced with other models, most commonly the Hehr Hall-Mark windows which were used on Airstreams starting in 1961.
Clear-View windows usually came equipped with these heavy duty operators. They feature a fixed 9/16" metal disk or "button" on the end of the arm that will not wear or crack like some older nylon versions. The button slides in a track on the side of the window's front frame. Although your tracks are likely still present and working, we do sell suitable replacement tracks here: VTS-409 Clear-View Tracks
We've had these oerators specially manufactured to have the end button on the side opposite the handle and to be cut to 7" long from button center to arm pivot pin. There are two sets of mounting holes. One set is spaced 3-7/8" on center. The other is spaced 4-3/4" on center.
Each operator comes with the handle shown. Our torpedo style handle may be purchased separately, as may be appropriate on some vintage trailers.
The operators come in both LEFT and RIGHT versions, the designation referring to the side with the tip button when the operator is retracted and the arm is pointing DOWN. With Airstreams, it is the side of the window the operator is mounted to when standing inside the trailer looking out.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have an Airstream manufactured between 1961 and 1965, it is highly unlikely these will work on your trailer.
