Newmar Dutch Star windshield & glass replacement
A Newmar Dutch Star windshield is a large-format two-piece curved laminated set costing roughly $2,000–$4,500 installed, with 7–20 business days to source because most panels are built to order through Newmar rather than held in distributor stock.

The Dutch Star carries one of the biggest, most steeply raked windshield openings in the RV market. Bigger and more curved means higher glass cost, higher scrap rates at the plant, and a two-technician set with proper suction rigging.
This is not a job to shop on price alone. A poorly bedded panel on a coach this size cracks again from body flex within a season.
What to know before you order Newmar Dutch Star glass
- Order through Newmar parts with your VIN. Newmar's records tie the panel to the specific cap and model year, and cross-referencing by eye on a coach this size goes wrong expensively.
- Whether your Dutch Star sits on a Spartan K2 or a Freightliner XCS does not change the glass — the panel belongs to the Newmar cap — but it does affect front-end access during the set.
- Expect crated freight and a delivery inspection. Damage in transit on panels this size is common enough that you should not release the freight carrier before uncrating.
- Full cut-out back to the flange is the correct method here. Leaving a contaminated bead under a panel this heavy is the leading cause of a repeat leak.
How to get an accurate Newmar Dutch Star quote
- Have the VIN ready — on a class a diesel pusher the glass follows the Spartan K2 / Freightliner XCS, and model year decides the part.
- Say whether the damage is a chip, a running crack, a stress crack with no impact point, or dual-pane fogging — each is a different job.
- Ask whether the quote is OEM or aftermarket glass, and whether freight is included.
- Confirm the safe drive-away time so you know when the coach can move.
- Get the workmanship warranty on leaks and stress cracks in writing before work starts.

Newmar Dutch Star Glass Questions
How much is a Newmar Dutch Star windshield?
Approximately $2,000–$4,500 installed for the pair, including freight. A single panel typically lands at $1,100–$2,400 installed.
Why is Dutch Star glass so expensive?
Panel size and curvature. Large steeply-raked laminated panels have high manufacturing scrap rates, ship crated as oversize freight, and require a two-technician set with lifting equipment.
How long will I be without the coach?
Sourcing is the long part at 7–20 business days. The set itself is a single day, plus the urethane safe drive-away time — typically several hours, longer in cold weather.
