Thor Hurricane windshield & glass replacement

    A Thor Hurricane windshield is two-piece Thor coach glass on an F-53 chassis, about $1,200–$2,700 installed for the pair or $650–$1,450 for one half. Sourcing takes 5–15 business days since panels ship freight from the glass manufacturer.

    The Hurricane is one of the highest-volume gas Class A coaches on the road, which is good news: aftermarket suppliers stock its panels more consistently than low-production coaches.

    As with all Thor Class A units, glass is keyed to the front cap design, and Thor revised caps mid-generation. Year alone is not enough — the supplier will want the VIN.

    What to know before you order Thor Hurricane glass

    • Two-piece layout allows single-half replacement; insist on a per-side quote first.
    • Replace the center divider and perimeter gasket with the glass — old rubber is the leading cause of post-install water intrusion.
    • Some years use lockstrip rubber retention and others urethane bonding; the retention method changes labor time and drive-away time.
    • Inspect the fiberglass cap flange for prior repairs. Filler under the gasket line prevents a proper seal and must be corrected before the new glass goes in.

    How to get an accurate Thor Hurricane 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 Hurricane Glass Questions

    How much is a Thor Hurricane windshield?

    About $1,200–$2,700 installed for both halves, or roughly $650–$1,450 for a single side, plus freight.

    Why does Thor coach glass take so long to get?

    It is built to order in low volume and moves by freight on a rack. Two weeks is normal, and winter weather can extend it.

    Does insurance cover it?

    Comprehensive coverage typically does, subject to your glass deductible. Several states waive the deductible on windshield claims.
