Tiffin Phaeton windshield & glass replacement
A Tiffin Phaeton windshield is large-format two-piece coach glass on a Freightliner XC chassis, running about $2,000–$4,200 installed for the pair, or $1,100–$2,300 per half. Sourcing typically takes 7–21 business days and the job is a two-technician lift.

The Phaeton is a full-size diesel pusher, and its windshield halves are big, heavy and curved. This is not a one-person job and it is not a parking-lot job in wind.
Tiffin support in Red Bay is unusually good about identifying glass by VIN, which is worth using before you accept any quote.
What to know before you order Tiffin Phaeton glass
- Two techs minimum plus suction cups rated for the panel weight; a dropped half is a five-figure mistake on a coach this size.
- Confirm tint band and shade match between halves — a mismatched top band is obvious from the driver's seat.
- Check the fiberglass cap flange and any prior gasket sealant. Silicone from an earlier repair must be fully removed.
- Diesel pusher dash airflow means a leak shows up as a wet dash pad, not a wet floor. Water-test before the coach leaves.
How to get an accurate Tiffin Phaeton quote
- Have the VIN ready — on a class a diesel pusher the glass follows the Freightliner XC raised-rail, 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.

Tiffin Phaeton Glass Questions
How much is a Tiffin Phaeton windshield?
About $2,000–$4,200 installed for both halves. Single-side replacement is roughly $1,100–$2,300 plus freight.
Should I use Tiffin OEM glass?
OEM through Tiffin guarantees fit and tint band match. Quality aftermarket exists and can save 20–30%, but confirm the supplier has run your exact cap generation before.
How long is the coach out of service?
Plan a full day on site plus safe drive-away time, typically one to four hours after the set depending on the urethane and temperature.
