Newell charges $250 per windshield for install on the split version plus the cost of glass. Most States have a mandatory coverage in your insurance, so it shouldn't cost most people anything.

Checking with the insurance carrier now. On all previous policies the glass policy was stated, but not on the most recent. I have a feeling this one is coming out of my pocket. Oh well.
Larry, if the name of the place comes to you, call me 817 223 2056. I am at Buckhorn for most of the week. There are several glass shops in Kerrville.
Rudy, yep, I remember you showing me the protective strip. It definitely would have helped in this case. It is the tiniest chip that started the crack.

Richard,
It was so long ago that the receipt and or record is in our storage unit 4000 miles away and calling Progressive wouldn't help as I now am with Geico. Sorry. You may want to ask Dee (Buckhorn owner) if he is around and there is a good RV repair shop at the end of Goat Creek Extension (1st right after KOA) and he would know the glass place for sure. About a 10 minute drive max.

Thanks Larry. I will do just that. BTW, lunch at the Depot (Rails) was great. Good suggestion!
Since I didn't have anything to lose, I have attempted a repair. I used a diamond dremel bit and drilled a small hole at the end of the crack to stop the crack from growing. Squirted some glass repair resin in the hole. We will see what happens.

Richard, if you have 'full coverage' which includes 'Comprehensive' then you most likely have glass coverage. Many companies today offer '100%' coverage (for a small additional annual premium) meaning you pay no deductible.

Thanks Jimmy.
Clarke, my comp has a 1k deductible. To my chagrin, I discovered that my latest policy didn't have a windshield clause like the previous 8 policies. Oh well, my bad for not reading the fine print.
I am going to see how the ghetto fix works. If not, I'll try to arrange to have it done in Fort Worth when we are there in a week.
