Snow Blew Out Curtis Cab Windshield Yesterday

[Tomtint]

That windshield was tempered glass. Sometimes you can hit tempered with a hammer and the hammer will just bounce back and the glass won't break, other times you can just tap the glass with a penny and it will explode. If you happened to hit it on or near the corner, that is the easiest place to pop it.

I was thinking that it would be $600 plus. It's curved top to bottom too, don't believe that I could just get one made at the local glass company.

Curved tempered with holes in it.....my guess is 1500.00

Member "Dataway" posted on another thread that the Curtis replacement was $600...I'm hoping for around that...a guy can hope!

Break a sparkplug and you can flick just a tiny piece of it at any tempered glass and it's history.

If you can get away with flat cut it out of polycarbonate (Lexan). Do NOT use acrylic (Plexiglas).

glad you're okay. So now...next time...what? My seat belt goes on without a thought. The conversation in your head that always gets you in trouble is the one when you believe nothing will happen...

Sorry for you bad luck. That really sucks.

I shattered my right window on Curtis Cab. Worst customer service ever. 3 months and $900 later I received replacement.

Whoa, sorry to hear that, and glad you're ok. I think those windshields go for about $650 from Curtis. Best of luck, and please keep us posted.
