Replacing the Windshield on Your 2019-2025 International CV Series
If you are running an International CV Series from between 2019 and 2025, you already know these trucks are built for serious hauling and hard work. But when a piece of gravel kicks up off the 401 and spiders across your line of sight, you cannot just ignore it. You need that glass swapped out right, and you need the truck back on the road making money.
What Makes the CV Series Glass Different?
These trucks share a lot of cab DNA with Chevy's medium-duty lineup. That means the windshield does a lot more than just keep the wind out of your face. It supports the structural integrity of the roof and houses the forward-facing camera systems. When I pull the old glass out, I am not just looking at the crack. I check the pinch weld for rust—a really common issue after a few harsh Canadian winters—and make sure the mounting surface is completely bare and clean before the new glass goes in.
Our Hands-On Replacement Process
I have been doing this a long time, and skipping steps is exactly how you end up with water dripping on your dashboard. Here is how we handle your International CV:
- Preparation: We carefully remove the heavy wiper arms and the cowl panel. On these bigger work trucks, the plastic cowl can get brittle in the cold, so we take our time so nothing snaps.
- Old Glass Removal: We use specialized wire-cutting tools to slice through the factory urethane. This pulls the glass free without scratching the paint on your pinch weld, which prevents rust down the road.
- Primer and Urethane: We prime the frame and lay down a high-quality, fast-curing urethane bead. This is the muscle that holds the heavy glass in place and keeps the elements out.
- Camera Calibration: If your 2019-2025 CV has lane departure or collision alert cameras, we recalibrate the system so it reads the road perfectly through the fresh glass.
Dealing with Canadian Climates
We see massive temperature swings here in Ontario. The adhesive we use is specifically rated for our climate. If a shop uses cheap glue, the glass will shift the second you hit a pothole in February. We only use premium urethane that sets up right, even when the temperature drops below freezing.
Mobile Service Built for Fleets and Owner-Operators
You probably do not have the time to leave your work truck sitting at a shop all day. That is why we pack up the truck and bring the tools directly to you. Whether you are parked at a job site, a fleet yard, or your own driveway, we get the replacement done on the spot.
