We got our current rig in March of 2016. In the SECOND HOUR of the FIRST trip, a truck going the other way threw up a rock and we drove into it, cracking the windshield from top to bottom..

We put up with the cracked windshield for TWO FREAKING years and and had it replaced just a month ago in March, 2018. $100 by the way.

As we were leaving an RV park yesterday morning, a truck passing us threw a rock and put a palm-sized star in our NEW, month old, windshield.

It is DEAD CENTER S to S, T to B, in the new glass and has since spread ALL the way from TOP to BOTTOM!!!

Grrrrrr.......

We got three windshields in one year once upon a time. Stuff happens!

Had Class A for 6 weeks, getting ready to go out on a trip, crack in windshield, lower left hand corner. Call insurance, call glass company.
Get all approved, glass company comes to site, takes out full, 1 piece windshield, installs new windshield. Take trip. Coming back, rock hits and chips it. Make it back and noticed a 1/2 white circle at bottom. Call company, they come out and inspect it. Defective windshield, moisture in it, chipped place not a problem with a defective windshield OK, order another new windshield.

Come out with new, full windshield, take defective one out, get new windshield out of van, it cracked into several pieces. They reinstalled defective windshield.

Get another new one, I drive to shop and they installed it there. What an ordeal.

Never had to deal with once cracked windshield, much less the rest of the story.

Hope it gets taken care of quickly and without any problems. Sorry for your problems. Hopefully that will end the windshield saga for you.

I totally understand.

Two years ago, I bought a 2009 F150. Within 6 weeks, we had to replace the windshield as a beet thrown from a farm truck smacked the windshield. HARD. The "fix" resulted in a obvious part in the windshield in my line of vision. Lucky I carry full glass coverage.

This year: Bought a 2018 Jeep (wife's car). Driving home from a hospital visit, a slow moving truck tossed a stone in the middle of the windshield. the Jeep was less than a month old and less than 800 miles on it. Crack spread within a day.

That's my darn luck!

Returning to S Cal from Seattle and bang, chipped windshield and the interesting part is there were no other vehicles around.
When the installer removed the windshield we discovered where that annoying leak was coming from, there was a gap in the sealant from the factory. Under windy and heavy rain conditions I would get a half dozen drops running down the inside. Learned that there is a difference in glass be it F-450 or E-450.

Just got a chip in our windshield last weekend. Been driving 30 years. All of my chipped windshields have been on interstates in Montgomery Alabama. Lived there for about 5 years 10 years ago. Had to go there again last weekend - bam - chipped windshield.

You'll have a blast on an Alaskan trip, and hey, maybe throw in a run on the Dempster while your up north.

Sorry for the hassel, but imagine what that new hit may have done if you still had the old, weakened, damaged windshield in place. It could have been a lot worse.
