Cracked Windshield - need help please!

I believe the kits are not recommended if the crack is bigger than a dollar bill.

Also, if you try drilling front glass it will explode into thousands of pieces. Its tempered.

Call your insurance company. Progressive called Duncan Systems and had me a new glass shipped and installed a 2 days.

Mine didn't cost me a nickle as Florida has a law that says no deductible on front glass.

You can also go to the big box store or one of the auto parts stores and get a Windshield repair kit. You use the liquid in the kit to saturate the crack and then put the plastic liners over the crack. After curing, take off the plastic and smooth with the included razor blade and done. It it did not completely fill, and you can tell by looking, do it a second time. We did that to a crack over a year ago and it has not moved at all. Just did a rock star last week and nearly invisible. It may not work for you, but did work for us. Hope this may help, happy trails Bert

Normally...they just crack and you can still drive,as long as, it doesn't effect the driver
If your insurance covers the windshield....call them with for a claim...we did..then they hooked us up with RV Glass Solution...who arranged it all for us.....in our travels...Chuck

RVHanna, it might help if you can tell us where you are. 'In the middle of a road trip' could put you just about anywhere.

There is a procedure to stop the 'run' as they can drill a small place in the windshield. Your insurance may replace the windshield as cracks can reflect the sun blinding you.

I had two 'stars' repaired on our previous coach. One was totally invisible, the other was not but they did not run after the repair.

They say just as soon as you get a rock chip, stop the coach, put a piece of tape over the hit as not to get dirt and dust in the hole. That will make for a cleaner repair.

Good luck,
