Windshield Replacement

Look in the lower corner. There should be an identification number in the glass.
Some installers will come to you some will not.
Have your insurance company handle it.

If we are talking about a MH make sure they they have done MHs before. Many of the RV parks have experienced MH glass guys come out and do great work.

What can I expect when I have my driver's side windshield replaced?

Will the glass company come to me?

Does the technician have to remove and measure the windshield before ordering?

It looks like my windshield is in a rubber gasket and suffered a hit on the lower gasket creating a crack that has grown to halfway straight up right in the center of the windshield.

Replacing it isn't the better part of it, getting may be.

Is the M/H manufacturer still in business? If so, talk to them as to where to order. And remember the asian glass that is being imported is not the glass you want.

Contact your insurer and they will make the arrangements.
Our windshield was replaced last year. The insurance company sent a rep who got the right numbers off the windshield, ordered it, and installed it.

Should be a Guardian or other part # in the corner. I was able to get one for my 1999 Winnebago in one day. Installed and no issues.

The windshield used in RV coaches in not made by the coach manufacturer. There are numerous "standard" windshields that are used by several different manufacturers for different types of vehicles.
When I called RV Glass Solutions, they asked for the number down in the corner and whether or not the windshield was tinted or not. From that number and the info on my insurance company, they handled everything. In about a week RV Glass Solutions called me to schedule an installation. When they showed up it took about 45 mintues to remove the old one and install the new windshield.
Since I live in Florida, windshield replacement is ZERO deductible so my out of pocket expense was zip. Basically all I had to do was call RV Glass Solutions, give them the number of the windshield, and they handled everything from then on.

They did mine also---6mo later I noticed the tint on the new one was 6in shorter than the original on the other side.....looks kind of funny if you notice but since it took me so long and its in there and don't leak I'm not going to worry about it.

I called two local RV dealers and they both recommended the same guy. I called him and was doing about 2-3 RV's a week. He even had a flat bed truck set up, so he could back up to my RV and set the glass without ladders from the bed of the flatbed.

So, call around...you don't want just any glass company.

I also suggest using RV Glass Solutions as they make a lot of the windshields for the RV industry and often have the glass you need in a warehouse. Call them to come out and they can contact your insurance for you while they are with you.

I just had them do mine and they did a great job.

I recently made the trip to RV Glass Solutions in Coburg, OR to have the passenger side windshield replaced in our coach. Excellent people to deal with, overnight spots with electricity available,
