Wow, thats terrible. Sorry to hear that and no I can't say I know of any solution. They replaced my windshield after much squawking and as they should have, but if they are not fixing the problem then it should be their problem still in my opinion. I believe those rivets are the problem. Do you have...

Thanks for checking that out. You mentioned the bumps in the road etc effecting a poorly installed windshield. Well here is the gasket with the dents in it. I spoke with my glass suppliers I used for 25yrs and they all said the same thing. Absolutely these rivets should not be making these pressure ...

ps Erie eyes, Do you have a stand up top on your boat? I may have found the problem,in taking the gasket out just now I see there are some small indentations in the back of the gasket. That pressure would be not good! Turns out the thumb latches for the stand up top are riveted to the windshield fra...

Thanks Erie Eyes, thats great to hear you have had no troubles with so much use, there has to be something wrong with the production or installation on my boat. Something Princecraft will not recognize for some reason. I would have thought they would fix such a significant problem in the best intere...

Hi Marc, "I tow 200 days a year and never broke a windshield " Man am I envious.... I am not sure if the temperature thing can be ruled out, the second one that broke was up at Pickerel river, we fished all day long and tied the boat up at the dock overnight. When I walked out the next mor...

I spoke with the glass manufacturer just now and like everyone he is alarmed that it has happened 3 times in such a short timeframe. He suspects it is an installation problem and said that the dealers are no longer installing the windshields, but what else can he say? The thing is that the windows c...

Hi Marc and Troller It is a superpro 18.6, I dont cover it when I tow, just the standard bow cover that came with the boat which doesnt touch the windshield. It has me frustrated beyond belief because otherwise I absolutely love the boat and really wouldnt want anything else. But I am shocked that P...

I agree,and I have spoken to proffessional glazier's that agree. I myself have been in the construction industry for 32 yrs and know that tempered glass does not break easily even with a hammer. Even Princecrafts Ontario rep told me that he thought it was the temperature change outside making the gl...

Princecraft windshields breaking ?

I have had quite a bit of trouble with my windshields breaking on my Princecraft. The first 2 times happened within a few months of getting the boat brand new 4 yrs ago. It was both sides that had broken (1 EACH)on two occasions, both while the boat was parked. The first time was in my laneway and t...
