Thomas Built Buses C2 Visibility problems by year

Something broke the lower side dash window lt side. The glass is bonded to the frame with a rubber like substance. These are supposed to be tempered glass which normally break into small squares and are fairly harmless. This window broke into sharp stick like shards radiating around the fracture site at the top area where the glass was bonded to the frame. This is the first window break we have had on a c2 and we were alarmed at the failure of the glass to disintegrate into the usual small squares. Does the bonding have something to do with the change in the pattern? *Tr

Our thomas c-2 buses have student crossing mirrors that will not hold adjustment. The brackets continually break and the hood mounts pull out. The mirrors used are rosco haweye. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 thomas built c2. The passenger side mirror is defective and blocks the view of oncoming vehicles. The manufacturer stated that they could send a new bracket to place on the passenger side mirror that would eliminate the defect. The bracket would cost between $80 to $100. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage was 7,621 and failure mileage was 438.

Dt*: the contact stated the location of the external mirrors created a blind spot on both sides of the bus and also the interior mirror vibrated excessively while driving various speeds. The manufacturer was not alerted. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer.
