I replaced my passenger windshield last Oct. I got the glass from a BB
schoolbus dealer
for
about $270. I talked to the factory and they said if they ship to me direct,
there will be a
shipping charge. However, going through the dealer, there was no charge for
shipping
and my price was the same as a direct purchase.

The dealer charged me $170 for the install. I don't like to do glass so I let
the dealer do
the install.

A big advantage to split windshields is a lower repair cost. Some of the
motorhomes with
a one piece windshield are very expensive for glass and labor.

My gaskets were in great shape and the dealer recommended reusing them instead
of
replacing them.
