Where to get replacement window glass?
I have the the three rear trailer windows and a rock off the highway broke one of the tall narrow ones. Where do I get a replacement pane?

In one of my older rigs, I just took the whole rig to a window repair shop in Cedar Rapids, IA and they replaced the window with safety glass.

On the last rig I had I broke a window and took it to an auto glass shop and they did a great job at repairing it. Just about any glass shop should be able to take care of you or point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the help. It could have been worse like the big window getting broken. I am sick of the duct tape patch. I didn't want the rest of the glass to fall out or water to get in. Patch works pretty good but not pretty!

Just brought up a good point.. Is the glass in these things Safety Glass or plain window glass???? My guess is plain window glass..How about thickness..is it the same as say a window in your stick home???single pane of course.

Rich,
I don't know, but I'd guess safe-t-glass, or more probably plexiglass or some acrylic.

I had the emergency escape window in the bedroom leave its frame while I was towing on the interstate. I didn't notice till I was home and washing the rig the next day. I went to our local Keystone dealer( not Montanas) and ordered a new window. The window including the entire frame work arrived in two days. I repaired the window myself taking the glass out of the frame and sliding it back over the ridge on the unit. This is also a reminder to always make sure the window is properly latched when traveling. I never heard of and damage to a passing auto so I guess I was lucky noone was hurt! The total cost for thw entire window and frame was about $125, cheap as far as I'm concerned.

The glass doesn't appear to be safety glass as it did not shatter. The glass cracked and split like plain glass. It looked like a bullet hole but it had to be a rock going fast, I hope!

The one that broke in my last rig was NOT safety glass. I would guess the windows in my current rig aren't safety glass either.
