Everything You Need to Know About Your RAM Vehicle Windshield Replacement

RAM vehicles are durable and functional, built to handle rough terrains. However, rocks and other debris can damage your RAM truck’s windshield, resulting in the need for a windshield replacement. It’s important to maintain the condition of your RAM vehicle's windshield to ensure your safety on the road. Here’s everything you need to know when you need to replace your RAM vehicle's windshield. 

How Much Does a RAM Truck Windshield Replacement Cost?

The cost of replacing a RAM vehicle's windshield can vary based on several factors, such as the type of windshield, the extent of the damage, and whether recalibration is required. On average, you can expect to pay between $300 and $1,600 for a windshield replacement. Choosing an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) windshield will generally be more expensive than an aftermarket option. Additionally, if your windshield has significant damage, the replacement cost may rise. For newer RAM vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), windshield calibration is necessary after a windshield replacement, which will further increase the total cost.

Does Insurance Cover a Windshield Replacement on a RAM Vehicle?

The coverage of your RAM truck windshield replacement depends on your insurance provider. Many insurance policies will cover the cost of windshield replacement and windshield calibration, but it is important to check with your insurance provider first. In the state of California, windshield replacement is typically covered by auto insurance if you have comprehensive coverage.

Should I Choose an OEM or Aftermarket Windshield For My RAM Windshield Replacement?

Choosing quality glass for your RAM’s windshield replacement is important to maintain your safety on the road. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) windshields will ensure you are protected from damage while on the road. High quality windshields ensure a durable and tightly-sealed replacement for your RAM. If you are searching for a more affordable option, OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) windshields are an option. OEE windshields are not made by the same manufacturer of your RAM's original windshield, but meet equivalent quality standards.

Do I Need A Windshield Repair or Replacement For My RAM Truck?

Understanding whether you need a windshield repair or replacement for your RAM depends on the amount of damage. A certified auto glass repair technician can determine if your windshield needs a repair or full replacement. Typically, if the windshield crack is longer than the length of a dollar bill or the rock chip is larger than the size of a quarter, a windshield replacement is necessary.
