Thor A.C.E. windshield & glass replacement
A Thor A.C.E. uses a two-piece curved laminated coach windshield running about $1,200–$2,600 installed for the pair. The A.C.E. front cap is Thor tooling on a Ford F-53 chassis, so the glass is ordered from Thor's parts channel or an RV glass distributor by model year.

The A.C.E. sits between a Class A and a Class C in styling, but its windshield is pure Class A: two curved panels with a center post, bonded into a fiberglass cap.
Thor's high production volume works in your favor on sourcing — panels are commonly stocked by RV glass distributors rather than built to order.
What to know before you order Thor A.C.E. glass
- The A.C.E. cap was revised across generations; confirm the panel against your VIN because the curvature changed with the front-end restyle.
- Thor coaches on F-53 rails are prone to lower-corner stress cracking when the coach is stored unlevel over a long period — a set on a properly leveled coach reduces repeat failures.
- Aftermarket panels for high-volume Thor caps are widely available and typically save 20–35% over OEM with acceptable optical quality.
- Check the divider-bar trim and the cap-to-glass reveal molding at the same time; both are cheap and both leak once they age out.
How to get an accurate Thor A.C.E. quote
- Have the VIN ready — on a class a gas the glass follows the Ford F-53 stripped chassis, 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.

Thor A.C.E. Glass Questions
How much is a Thor A.C.E. windshield?
About $1,200–$2,600 installed for both halves; a single panel is typically $650–$1,450 including labor.
Is Thor A.C.E. glass the same as a Thor Hurricane?
No. Different front caps and different curvature. They share the F-53 chassis, but the windshield belongs to the cap, so the panels are not interchangeable.
Will insurance cover an A.C.E. windshield?
Comprehensive coverage generally covers rock and storm damage on a motorhome windshield. Stress cracks with no impact point are the common denial reason, so document the damage before filing.
