Windshield replacement

Anyone have a recommendation for a 2018 Dutchstar windshield replacement in the Lake Havasu City or Las Vegas area?

Thanks

Check with national named auto glass companies. I had my BSS windshield replaced by Binswanger and they do a good job.

My windshield was recently broken and I called my insurer (Progressive). They made all arrangements (which I was able to over-ride if unhappy) and I went about my business.

Once agreed upon a company named Duncan shipped the glass to a local glass company - who arranged a convenient time to make the repair (at their facility).


Installation time was about 2 hours but needed an additional 2 hours for the glues to set/dry.



So easy Even a Caveman ...

I had my windshield replaced in Las Vegas under an insurance claim and used Safelite as recommended by the insurance company. I would not use them again. It leaked the first time I washed it about 2 weeks later in Palm Springs. Safelite in Palm Springs tried to fix it and was able to seal one of the two places it leaked. Next stop was Safelite in Auburn, Washington. It took 3 visits to get the leaks stopped and the trim properly replaced. All the shops refused to completely remove and reseal the windshield for fear of breaking the windshield during the process. I made numerous complaint to Safelite and never got a response. Do not use them for your RV windshield replacement. They have done a great job on my car windshields in the past.

Progressive will have recommendations, however I opt to go to Newmar for replacement it’s a lot of differences between installers and Newmar.
