RV Back Window Replacement

RV back window replacement costs $350–$1,100 installed depending on whether the rear glass is framed or bonded and how large the panel is. Rear windows take more road-debris and hail damage than any other panel except the windshield, and on Class A coaches the rear panel is often a coach-builder-specific bonded unit with a 2–4 week lead time.

Framed vs bonded rear glass

On most towables the rear window is a standard framed unit and prices like a large side window: $350–$650 installed. On Class A coaches and high-line fifth wheels, the rear panel is frequently flush-bonded into the fiberglass cap, which pushes the job to $700–$1,100 and requires urethane cure time before the rig moves.

Identifying which you have is a two-second check: visible interior clamp ring and screws means framed; a clean flush edge with no fasteners means bonded.

Why rear glass fails

Rear windows on towables live directly in the debris stream kicked up by the rig's own tires and by traffic behind you. On motorhomes, the rear cap flexes more than the sidewalls, so a bonded rear panel that was installed with too thin a bead will crack from stress rather than impact.

Hail is the other big one. A rear panel is angled to catch falling hail more squarely than a vertical sidewall window, which is why hail claims so often list the rear glass and the skylights together.

RV Rear Window FAQs

How much is an RV back window replacement?

$350–$650 for a framed unit and $700–$1,100 for a bonded rear panel on a Class A or high-line fifth wheel, installed.

Can I drive with a broken rear RV window?

Only with the opening fully covered and secured. An open rear opening lets water, road debris, and exhaust into the coach and is an obvious theft target — most shops will board it for you at the estimate visit.

Does insurance cover a hail-damaged rear window?

Yes, comprehensive coverage generally applies to hail. Because hail damages several components at once, file one claim covering rear glass, skylights, roof, and any side windows together.
