New Windshield

A month or so ago while I was traveling into Mexico to work at the Rio Bravo Orphanage, a large truck passed me and threw a rock up into the windshield. I didn't see any chip or crack at the time, but the next cool morning when I turned on the defrosters, a three foot long crack spread across the windshield.

I called a couple of auto glass companies and found the nationwide firm of Safelite offered what sounded like the best price, service and warranty. The next day, their technician came to the RV Park to replace the windshield in the Blazer right here, on site.



First he removed the windshield wipers, then the old windshield and gaskets. . .














He cleaned out the glass channel, then applied a black gooey adhesive and new rubber gaskets . . .














Then he set the new windshield in place and secured it in position . . .













Wow! A new windshield installed in about an hour!













He advised me to leave the side windows cracked open overnight, don't drive it for two hours, and don't wash it for two days.

Getting a "New Windshield" can be so easy!
