It made the other one look older. It would have been nice to have them both replaced. You can't believe the difference.

Windshield replacement - Joe Garner - 11-22-2009 13:22 Apparenty this is not a problem, call the local BB dealer ( find one at the BB website) and ask for one. They run about $350 ea, and the channel that holds them in is another $150 or so. Ive attached a pdf of the parts book that shows them. HTH, Joe On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 2:00 PM, Donald Spithaler <"dspithaler@gmail.com"> wrote:

Windshield replacement - jackdanielsnb@... - 11-23-2009 04:36 I can't help on finding a replacement, but have other info that may help others in the future. I own a bird, I drive a big truck, and yes, it is a gravel truck. Yes, sometimes rocks fall of the gravel hauler and sometimes it comes up from the road, either way, here is what you do, if possible. Even if it isn't a gravel truck, do the same. If you run with a cb, then tell them on the radio about the incident. He may or may not answer. If they do answer (in a polite way) ask if he would pull over and offer his insurance info. Most likely the answer will be NO. DOT regs says he has to post certain info on the truck, they actually say it is located on the door, but truckers put this everywhere on the truck. Look for TXDOT (or USDOT if out of state) numbers and they will be on the truck. The name of the trucking company and city should be posted. Get any or all tag numbers. On big trucks (Semi Trailers) the truck (Tractor) tag is only on the front, but you should be able to get the trailer tag number. Get ALL this info and also make note of the date and time, and exactly where it happened, hwy#, mile post#, exit#, or the mileage to the next city. The hard part is going to be "getting" the info off the truck. If he is "hauling ass", you may not be able to get beside him. But safely try to get this info. You can go online (I don't have the link handy) and look up the TXDOT number and it will provide you the name, address, and their insurance company. The insurance company info is what you want. You call them and file a claim and most likely they will pay for your damage. If you have the date/time, where's, how's, and truck info, they won't argue with you much, just pay. I know this didn't replace your windshield, but maybe next time you can get the insurance to pay.

Got the name of the company,called them and was told "That's your insurance company's problem. It falls under "Road Hazard" and a normal part of driving. Paid for the windshield myself instead of filing a claim. Bob Lawrence 84 PT36 Skidaway Island State Park, Ga. |
