4 Important Questions Regarding Motorhome Windshield Repair

​Your RV is more than another vehicle. It is your ticket to adventure and a home away from home. When your windshield needs repairs, it’s essential to find the right shop. How can you be sure your motorhome windshield repair is in the right hands? Ask these questions to make sure the shop you choose will do the best job possible on your motorhome.

Can Your Shop Replace My RV’s Windshield?

Replacing your RV’s windshield is a delicate operation. Unlike car windshields, it takes a certain amount of know-how to safely maneuver the old glass out of its frame without causing damage to the surrounding seal. Inserting the new glass into the frame requires a skilled and steady hand, as well as high-quality adhesives.

Shops with limited capabilities may not have the tools and experience necessary to replace your windshield correctly. Ragged seals, insufficient adhesives, low-quality glass, or a sloppy process can leave your glass vulnerable to heat, wind pressure, and other dangers. Insecurely fastened windshields could mean some ugly surprises on the road.

• Our shop is the only one in the Albuquerque area to be certified by the AGRSS (Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council).

Be sure to ask your technician about the parts they use and their previous experiences before trusting them with your motorhome windshield repair.

Can Your Shop Help with Insurance Claims?

Motorhome windshield repair can be pricey. Using your insurance coverage helps reduce the financial burden. Depending on how your windshield became damaged, your insurance may cover your entire repair bill.

However, many people choose to skip the insurance process. The confusing tangle of forms and phone calls is enough to discourage some RV owners from attempting to use their coverage. Instead, these owners choose to pay out of pocket for repairs. Still, others may want to use their insurance but have a tough time finding a shop that will accept it.

Can Your Shop Come to Me?

Exploring new pathways is the best part of owning a motorhome. However, small rocks and debris from rough roads that are kicked up by your tires can wreck your windshield. What do you do when you’re already on vacation and notice a series of small cracks or chips in your RV’s windshield?

Chipped and cracked windshields are a safety hazard for several reasons.

• Obscures vision.

• Compromises the structural integrity of the glass if an accident occurs.

• Allows wind, rain, and other outside elements into your motorhome.
