The RV received it's new windshield this morning. Quite a project. Two guys worked for about two hours to complete the job. It really was a bit odd replacing the windshield when it didn't really obstruct much of the view but it was still growing and cracks could easily wander at anytime.
The crew was quite good, a nice installation and all cleaned up on departure. They were from Quality Glass in Santa Clara and did the work for our GMAC Insurance. It was interesting that when they arrived, the glass fit. After all, they ordered it over the phone based on my reading the number engraved on the windshield which was a bit worn.
Two things were difficult, getting the windshield out and getting the last inch of the seal in place. The installer kicked out the windshield which broke it a whole lot worst than the original crack. On the right above, the installer is working on that difficult last inch which took about 15 minutes to complete.
Job complete. On the right, the RV seems to be smiling now.
I've picked up a nice cold so am relaxing today. I did get the printer re-installed on the engine hump. I had removed it yesterday for the smog check and fortunately I remembered not to install it until after they did the windshield. One of the installers was climbing around on the dash to do the windshield installation. It's nice to move everything out once in a while to clean "possible". We normally only clean "as far as possible".
