Default NR window glass

Got to love all the rocks on the road this time of year.
Got to the landing and put the boat in the water. Look over and I had caught a rock in the bottom center of the passenger side wind shield,Looked like it was million little cracks.So where would be a good place to get this replaced?

That happened to my boat this summer. Mine shattered and put a million little pieces of glass all over the inside of the boat. Took a long time to clean out. My advice would be to order a replacement directly from the dealer. I messed around with two local glass shops and they could not get the job done properly. For safety glass they have to make a paper template and then send it out to a shop to have it cut; then you have to hope that it fits when you get it back. Save yourself the headache and order it from the dealer. They will probably have to order it from the factory but it will fit when you get it back and it will be original equipment. You can install it yourself or have them do it as you see fit.

First place I would call is NR. I bet that would be your best option. Then maybe one of the local glass shops if NR does not pan out

Why not have your dealer replace? They should order the window from N. River and then use a local glass shop to to the work. That is what I did w/ my last broken window.

Cheers!

I have had 3 broken windows in my boat and had them all fixed at the local glass shop for under $35 each. No problems with the repairs and under an hour to fix.
