Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 1998 VNL610 - What's the cost? Has anyone had one replaced lately? Chances are this will be done at Volvo in Bismarck. Does the gasket need to be replaced? I figure at 19 years old it might be worthwhile. Thoughts?

MrSeas Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Glass runs about $200 and the gasket will be somewhere north of $100. Volvo dealers usually have pretty competitive prices on the glass. I was only able to source the gasket at the Volvo dealer in my local area. I changed the gasket for my well being and I probably had some more life left in the old one. Cali sun loves to eat up rubber pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8r3400 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The gasket is a Volvo only item. They will set the price for it. $200-250 installed is a reasonable range to install a new windshield in your truck. Installing a new gasket in a Volvo is no more labor than reusin the original gasket. In in most places the dealer does not install glass. They contract with a local glass shop to do this specialized labor. Going direct to the glass shop will save you some money. Buying glass from the dealer versus the same glass from an independent shop is throwing away your money.

Hi Jim, On my first truck (Gen 1) I had the windshield replaced and also the windshield gasket replaced with a Gen 2 gasket. I don't remember the cost. The glass shop had to get the gasket from the dealer. The glass shop that I went to also does the work at the local Volvo dealer in my area. The reason for going with a Gen 2 gasket over the Gen 1 was to get away from the extra plastic pieces that go on the sides of the windshield. Hopefully the glass shop will clean-up all of the old gasket. It would be nice to see painted steel where the gasket goes to make the best seal as possible. Good luck, Al 2012 Volvo VNL 630 w/ I-Shift; D13 engine; " Veeger " Redwood, model 3401R ; 5th Wheel Trailer, " Dead Wood " 2006 Smart Car " Killer Frog " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEasy Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I guess there was a lot of hail in the mid-west about the time we were returning from the WCR. We were lucky to have missed it.

Flying Finn Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I would give Safe lite a call. My insurance company uses them. They have done 2 windshields on my ' 01 VNL 770. They came to me and installed new gasket and OEM equivelant glass for $290.99 in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertMiner Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 How are you guys evaluating the rubber gasket for replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 According to the shop that's doing mine again, If the gasket is torn, cracked, or dry rotted they replace it. If you have any leaks with it installed before the glass replacement, they change it. Otherwise, they reuse it.

Lance A Lott Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well I hope you guys are happy, you cost me $185 dollars today! And what do I have to show for it? No chips, scratches, or any other blemishes. I was going to have four chips repaired this week then I read this post. They weren't here 45 minutes and I called them yesterday to get the cost. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEasy Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Replacement is about as cheap as chip repair. Safelite charged me $120 to get 3 chips repaired. Never again.
