Creeping Cracks

 

As we rolled happily into Texas this fall we picked up a few new stone hits that eventually, with the change of temperature, really started to turn into some good runners across the windshield ... rats!

 

Once the Flying Scotsman was safely put to bed in its new storage facility we called the Good Sam insurance gurus and they set up a replacement team to get a new window installed where it sat.

 

Below is where the repair guys had just popped the top weather-stripping off .... and crickledecrack the whole thing started to look like a roadmap of cracks.

 



Here's a better view from the inside of the web of lines across the huge piece of glass.

 

Then as they took the old one out we had a really unobstructed view, eh.

 

As they parked the old one next to their truck I think one guy said, "That's one big window." I think it was about 250 pounds in the huge crate in the back of the truck.

And just about done. I had to help from the inside with the weather-strip as one guy poked and caulked all of the edges for a water tight seal.

$500 deductible and about an hour later we had a new window to watch the fascinating terrain roll by again ... although I'm not sure if I want to take the new glass out for a ride or not!
