I left Michigan on Tuesday for a 5 week road trip that will carry me through a number of western states (see: http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12697)
Today I took a stone in the windshield with the result that I have a foot-long crack extending up from the right lower corner of the windshield. I marked it so I can see how quickly it spreads.
No doubt the windshield will need replacement but it would be nice if it could wait a month until I get home. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe others have posted that when the old windshield is removed it is often necessary to touch up the paint in the "frame" or after the new windshield is installed you'll start to get rust streaks around it.
Let me know your experiences with windshield replacement so I can do it right the first time.
Just in case the window needs replacement while on my trip, I will be staying north of Seattle for several days, likewise Nevada City, CA and Colorado Springs, CO - if anyone can recommend someone who could do a proper job of windshield repair in any of these areas please let me know. I have comprehensive insurance which should cover the cost.
Thanks!
