Look what has appeared on my 11 year old hymer. What

[Aspenshaw]

Look what has appeared on top of my windscreen or in it. It's six inch long. What is it and what should I do? I've had the motorhome from new to 11 years old.

 

[DandJ]

It looks like the laminated windscreen is de-laminating

 

[Clivefog]

Delaminating .

 

[The Coops]

Yes its delamination, new windscreen time if you want the integrity of the glass to remain, the lamination is there to stop objects and glass shards should something hit the windscreen

 

[Aspenshaw]

Thanks. Having read what you've said, I talked to my insurance windscreen expert I who said will have to be my pocket as it's wear. It'll be cheaper than buyer a new motorhome!

If it was me a large rock would fall off a lorry I was following that put a crack in the windscreen

Only just.

Mistake number one, talking to insurance before anything has happened.

Expect a 2,5k bill. :-(

I would use till a chip appears and spreads…….

Then claim on the insurance.

Change insurers when it's up for renewal.

Change insurers when it's up for renewal.

I bet it's already loged in some insurance thingy that they all reference to.

That was a silly thing to do.
A stone chip could have started the delamination.

Don't worry. I know how to get information and not give anything away. I was trained in that!

Did you call them from a phone box or a burner phone

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

If you look closely there looks to be a tiny chip at the top of the screen . The sort of chip caused by a small stone. That's caused the screen to delamination.

Putting it on here in the first place didn't help a lot. There are insurance folks on here you know.

 

[andyman]

I would try seak and seal, or Captain Tolleys.
Had this happen on my Burstner, applied seak ans seal along the edge. Capillary action drew the liquid in. Mine was only about 30mm. It all but disappeared.

And here’s me all these years thinking everyone of Fun were honest wholesome people and yet so many Funsters saying you cocked it up and can no longer claim on insurance ….

Maybe a strip of vinyl wrap slightly tinted, more cosmetic but would take your mind off it until some other screen damage takes place.

They cant claim for the delamination, if it’s legal though and purely cosmetic, nothing stopping them carrying on.

Until a stone hits it and then requires a replacement. That will be covered, nothing dishonest or illegal about that.

 

[Jerrywh]

Even if you claim off the insurance you will still pay,one way or another .. eg when you come to renew

Not for replacement windscreens,they don't affect premiums.

It might be worth speaking to a windscreen replacement place, here in france they are realy hot on doing repairs where possiible for stone chips and things, they might at least be able to stop it growing.

 

[ARTPLUM]

Stick a sun visor strap over it till it gets worse then claim on your insurance in 12 months or so

 

[Geistguy]

Try taking it to one of the windscreen replacement depots and ask if it's been caused by a stone chip, if so get it in writing and contact your insurers again.
