Motorhome Windshield Replacement — Installing New RV Glass

A huge sheet of glass rolling down the highway is at risk from flying stones. When a stone chip spreads into a crack, it's time for a new windshield. We had to get ours replaced earlier this year.

We know how expensive a large motorhome windshield is, so we avoid tailgating for more than safety reasons (although of course that's enough). But it's sometime impossible to avoid stones kicked up by oncoming traffic, or when being passed on a multi-lane highway.

Our large, bus-like windshield is very tall. The lower part of the glass, which extends down closer to the road, is the most susceptible area. Sure enough, we recently took a stone at the base of the glass, which hit hard enough to create a large chip. It rapidly spread into a long crack before we could stop to have it repaired.

Luckily, we found a mobile installer who came right to us, doing the entire job right in the RV park, all by himself!

If you're in the unhappy situation of having a broken or cracked RV windshield and you're anywhere along the West Coast or the Desert Southwest, Mike Wilkinson can come right to you and install on site. He did a great job for us and we highly recommend him. He was such a nice guy that we made a special edit of this video for him to embed right on his website.
