    Some cascadias have a common problem with one of the clearance lights leaking and it makes it seem as though the windshield is leaking. Mine had to be resealed about 2 weeks ago at freightliner.

    Depends upon how long of a wait you have... Once they get it in the shop, (And start on it) Probably 30 min or so.

    Ding Ding!

    That stopped Niagara falls. But there was still a small crik. Someone that had the truck prior was chasing this problem a while. Silicone on the window gaskets. Black gunk on the body part joints.

    I stopped at our FFE terminal in Lemont IL and the shop boss called out a truck glass crew and they dialed me in.
    Then the company switched me to a different truck two months later... Heheheee

    Huh?. Are you talking about freightliner cascadias?. I have had two replaced, 1 by a freightliner dealer and the other by a local mobile glass company. Both took less than an hour and there were no restrictions on driving after.

    Other trucks may have the windshield glued or bonded in which may require a long period to cure, but cascadia windshields don't use glue.
