DIY vs. Professional Service: RV Windshield Replacement

2 MIN READ | MARCH 4, 2024

When it comes to RV windshield replacement in Calgary, RV owners often find themselves at a crossroads: should they attempt a DIY project or hire a professional? It’s important to consider the potential risks of a DIY job, such as improper installation leading to leaks or even further damage to your RV.

The windshield is one of the most important parts of your RV, offering protection and visibility. Whether it’s due to a crack or severe damage, replacing it as quickly as possible after it sustains damage is vital. In this article, we’re exploring the benefits of hiring a professional to replace your windshield instead of embarking on the project yourself.

Understanding RV Windshield Replacement

RV windshield replacement isn’t your average vehicle maintenance task. It’s a complex job that requires precise handling, the right tools, and an in-depth understanding of safety standards. Before choosing between DIY and professional service, it’s important to fully grasp the level of expertise needed for this task.

  • Complexity: RV windshields are large and have different curves and shapes compared to regular vehicle windshields. Their size and the necessity for a perfect seal to prevent leaks make the task challenging.
  • Tools and materials: Specialized tools and equipment are necessary for a successful RV windshield replacement. These include commercial-grade adhesives and glass that’s designed to fit your RV seamlessly. Investing in these tools for a one-time DIY project might not be cost-effective compared to hiring a professional who already has them.
  • Safety: A properly installed windshield is vital to the structural integrity of your RV. Any mistakes in the installation process may compromise the safety of passengers.

Why Hire a Professional

Professionals bring experience and precision to the table. Here are the benefits of opting for professional RV windshield replacement:

  • Expertise: Professionals have the necessary skills and experience to make sure the job is done correctly.
  • Warranty: Most often, you’ll receive a warranty on the installation, ensuring if anything goes wrong, you’re covered.
  • Convenience: Hiring a professional is hassle-free. You won’t have to worry about sourcing materials or dealing with the aftermath of a potential mishap.

Professional RV Windshield Replacement in Calgary

While installing a new RV windshield on your own can be more affordable, there’s a lot more to consider than just price. Opting to DIY your RV windshield replacement comes with a lot of risk and, unfortunately, doesn’t include warranty services, which can cover you in the event of improper installation.

Thankfully, Mobile Windshield Replacement can help. We provide professional RV windshield replacement in Calgary, and best of all; our service is convenient and affordable. Contact us today to book your appointment.
