Why Professional Bus Windshield Replacement Matters
Thomas buses endure constant vibration, road debris, and rivet fatigue. A compromised windshield seal can lead to leaks, frame corrosion, and failed DOT inspections. Proper OEM-spec replacement restores structural integrity, weatherproofing, and regulatory compliance for your fleet.
OEM Assemblies & Precision Rivet Removal
We supply genuine Thomas Bus windshield assemblies and Dow Xpress™ 30 urethane. Our technicians carefully remove up to three rivets per flange, clean and prime the metal, then apply a continuous bead of adhesive—ensuring a leak-proof bond that cures onsite in under two hours.
