Front glass rock chip repair?

Anyone know if the front glass on Lances are tempered, or laminated?

I have a rock chip I'd like to have fixed, and they can't drill tempered.

Thanks!

    DRILL?

    Just call SafeLite Repair. They come out and use suction to fix chips.




    Thanks for the recommendation. I didn't know Safelite didn't drill. I have them on the way. Thanks!
  • Car windshields are pretty cheap lately and I had one replaced on my Superduty for $120 with US-made glass


    ....I wonder if you got a Guardian or Safelite 3rd party windshield?

    I've replaced the Silverdo windshield twice over its lifespan ($370 each out of pocket; no insurance involved). Just replaced the OEM windshield on the brand new Edge a few months ago ($988 Canadian) with the OEM glass: FoMoCo Carlite with all the attachments and moldings that the original windshield has (fancy glass with lots of embedded stuff, very expensive; insurance paid).

    While the convenience of driveway-replacement is fantastic, I personally would never chance the variability in SDAT/MDAT during outdoor curing (uncontrolled humidity and temperature over the cure time).

    I have had them come out three times. Once on the RV and twice for a vehicle. Real inexpensive and when they are done you can't even see the chip or where they did it.

    Repair, replacement and best part they are MOBILE, they come out to you. Can't say enough about this company when it comes to 'anything' glass. Not just windshields.

    good luck with your fix get it done before it takes off running!
  • Windshields are usually laminated, but I couldn't way that for sure. If it is laminated, generally you infurance will have chips fixed for you free, Its a lot cheaper for them than full replacement. I have had several chips fixed on my vehicles, and hasn't cost me anything yet.
  • I doubt it is laminated on camper, but call to the factory should answer that.

  • Sure hope its not tempered, if it were Id replace. A quick call to Lance would verify.
