I'll Google it when I get home.
I've seen a few out there. And I won't be opposed to using something like that. But then a $0 deductible isn't bad cost either when it comes to window replacement.

We also have $0 deductable, but when we did the math, it seems that we could have replaced quite a few windshields for what we pay the insurance company. It may not seem like much of a monthly payment, but it adds up!I'll Google it when I get home.

SON OF A BITCH!! On our way back to Carson City yesterday, we got behind a couple of slow moving semi trucks and as I pulled up behind them, the guy in back started to get all kinds of pissy impatient and tried several times to pass the guy in front of him. After the 3rd attempt, the mother fuckin driver decided that he was going to straddle the shoulder in what looked like his way of telling the truck in front (who was pulling an empty flat bed) to speed up. Of course, when he did this, he started to kick all kinds of gravel and before I could back up far enough, one hit our relatively brand new windshield hard and cracked it
But hey, I know the guy was just doing his job and I got what I deserved and I should just be grateful that I can drive on highways made for him
What sucks the most is that we have adaptive cruise control and that means this is a super expensive windshield to replace. I can only hope this crack doesn't grow or at least, long enough for me to get it fixed in place.

if you got the company name, date, time etc.. contact them to cover the windshield replacement. I've done this several times and if they are part of a bigger company, they've reimbursed me for the windshield replacement costSON OF A BITCH!!

Honestly, the thought never crossed my mind. I didn't even know that was something you could do.

When they can't keep it between the lines because of the kind of bullshit they were doing, companies aren't too pleased
But I thought "all" truck drivers were perfect little angles and we should just be happy we can use their roads
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

A shop can repair that if done soon enough. Put clear packing tape over it if you're going that route. It keeps moisture out and makes the repair look way better.SON OF A BITCH!!

So, I've never done the repair before and I got a quote from Safelite saying it'll cost $173.59. Does that sound right to you? If it weren't for the fact that I have adaptive cruise control, I could pretty much get a new standard windshield for that price.

My insurance company, state farm, will fix those for free. Check with yours.

Probably. Probably $150 minimum to come out in todays day.

I worked at a glass shop about 25 years ago. We charged 40.00 lol. I have no idea what the going rate is nowadays. That seems high, but everything has gone up in price.

Looking around online, 60 seems to be cheapest. You may be able to get a kit and do it yourself. It's not tough. Drill a small hole, use a suction like tool to fill it in with resin, then a UV light cures the resin. That's how we did it.
