Class A RV Windshield Replacement Cost
Class A RV windshield replacement costs $900 to $2,000 per panel for flat two-piece glass and $1,500 to $3,000+ per panel for curved two-piece glass. Because nearly all Class A coaches use a two-piece windshield, a full set typically totals $3,000 to $5,000 installed, and $4,000 to $7,000 on luxury diesel pushers. Labor is 6 to 10 hours with a two- or three-person crew.
Why Class A glass costs multiples of car glass
A Class A windshield is molded for a specific coach shell in production runs measured in hundreds, not millions. Curved panels are formed over a dedicated mold, and when that mold is retired the glass becomes a special order or a cross-reference hunt. Add the size — often five feet across and over a hundred pounds — and the job needs suction handling gear and a crew.
- Flat two-piece: $900 – $2,000 per panel installed
- Curved two-piece: $1,500 – $3,000 per panel installed
- Luxury diesel (Newmar, Entegra, Prevost, Tiffin Bus): $2,000 – $3,500+ per panel
- Full two-piece set, most gas coaches: $3,000 – $5,000
- Add for heated or acoustic laminate glass: $200 – $600
What is included in a proper quote
A complete Class A quote should be itemized. Missing line items are where surprise costs come from.
- The glass itself, by part or mold number
- Removal of the damaged panel and full cut-out of the old urethane bead
- New primer and OEM-spec urethane adhesive
- New gaskets, trim, and center divider seal where applicable
- Crew labor and any lift or suction equipment
- Mobile travel to your site, and adhesive cure time before travel
Sourcing and lead time
Glass availability drives the schedule more than labor does. Current model coaches are often a few days out. Discontinued molds — common on coaches over fifteen years old — can take weeks, and occasionally require cross-referencing a compatible panel from another brand built on the same shell.
Order early. Once the crack is running, waiting for a quote round changes nothing about the price and adds weeks to the timeline.
Replace one panel or both?
Replace only the damaged panel unless both show stress cracking or the center seal is failing. Doing both at once saves some labor and one mobilization, so if both panels are aged, hazed, or leaking, a set replacement is usually the better value per dollar.

How much is a Class A windshield?
$900 to $3,000+ per panel installed, and $3,000 to $5,000 for a full two-piece set on most gas coaches.
Why is Class A glass so expensive?
Panels are molded per coach shell in very low volume, weigh over a hundred pounds, and require a multi-person crew and specialty adhesive.
Can a regular auto glass shop replace a Class A windshield?
Most will not. The panel size, curvature, sourcing, and cap bonding are outside standard automotive glass work — use an RV glass specialist.

A single panel is typically 4 to 6 hours; a full two-piece set is a full day, plus adhesive cure time before driving.
