2017 Ram 1500 Windshield Specifications & Details
The 2017 Ram 1500 is the fourth-generation DS-platform pickup, built at Warren Truck Assembly in Michigan and Saltillo, Mexico. Regular Cab, Quad Cab, and Crew Cab configurations share the same laminated windshield (Mopar 68193829AD base, 68257758AB with rain sensor) — glass is sourced through Pilkington and FYG for the OE channel, with Carlite available as a common aftermarket equivalent. Unlike the 2019+ DT generation, the 2017 DS does not use a windshield-mounted forward camera: Adaptive Cruise and Forward Collision Warning on Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims rely on a grille-mounted Delphi radar module, so most 2017 Ram replacements on the DS chassis do not require a post-install ADAS camera calibration.
The rain sensor (optional on Laramie and above, packaged with the Uconnect 8.4 display) sits in a gel-coupled bracket at the top center of the glass. Our technicians transfer and reseat the factory sensor rather than replacing it, which saves roughly $180 in parts. On DS trucks ordered with the Convenience Group, a humidity sensor shares the same bracket and transfers intact.
Glass Options for Your 2017 Ram 1500
Cash pricing for OE-branded Mopar glass on the 2017 Ram 1500 typically runs $420–$560 installed. High-quality aftermarket equivalents from Pilkington OEE or PGW run $240–$340 installed — both meet FMVSS 205 and match OEM thickness within 0.2 mm. For daily-driver and single-truck customers, we recommend Pilkington OEE. For fleet accounts (oilfield service, landscaping, construction), we offer volume pricing with an extended leak warranty.
2017 Ram 1500 Auto Glass in Houston
The Ram 1500 is one of our highest-volume jobs — over 287,000 Ram pickups are registered in the Houston-Woodlands-Sugar Land MSA, and Houston's truck culture drives replacement rates well above national averages. Summer cab temperatures above 150 °F accelerate urethane creep at the pinch weld, while hail season (March–May) and gravel-hauler debris on I-45, US-59, and the 610 North Loop produce chip-to-crack conversions within days. Texas comprehensive coverage waives the deductible on glass claims, and we direct-bill State Farm, Progressive, USAA, and GEICO. Our mobile fleet covers the full Atlas 70-mile ring — Katy, Conroe, Pearland, League City, and points east toward Baytown.
Common Issues & What to Watch For
TSB 08-048-16 documents stress cracks originating at the lower A-pillar cowl trim; the root cause is inconsistent factory urethane bead height. We eliminate this by running a 10 mm V-notched bead and verifying cure time before release. TSB 23-035-13 notes wind noise at the top molding on Crew Cab models — we upgrade the OE clip-on molding with a butyl-backed replacement. NHTSA complaint data for 2017 DS trucks over 80,000 miles shows a cluster of spontaneous cracks without impact points, consistent with body-on-frame flex and aged urethane. Visible stress fractures without a star-break require full replacement, not repair.
