Damn rock cracked my windshield!
 

Driving the Highway & a flying object is coming right at me, unable to swerve I hear a bang on my windshield! ...at 90-100km, it sounded loud.

I look at my lower passenger side of the windshield, there's a chip & cracking line:mad:

Only way to look at this, glass damage or body damage which is worse:shakes head:

Ouch! :(

The cracking line sounds like it might get worse, I hope it does not. The passenger side is better than your side though.

Insurance covers glass repair?

thats sucks.

just remove the windshield and wear a helmet.

/\ I touched the inside of the windshield where the line is & it started to spread!!!

yes, comprehensive...thought it was a $300 deductible instead it's $200.

Some insurance companies cover glass repair (not replacement) at 100%

I have Allstate. Some insurance don't have a deductable for glass. Check your policy. I've had my windshield replaced in my old car without paying anything out of pocket.

I had a rock hit my windshield in my Z 2 weeks ago. The rock was about the size of a quarter and it hit my windshield going 70mph. I felt your same pain. I had the crack fixed next day. My insurance, esurance, covered it free of charge because it was a repair. I think most insurance companies do the repair for free as others stated. Anyways, after the repair was done I have a dot where the rock hit. It's not all that noticeable but it pisses me off a little.

It also can depend on your state. For instance in Florida Insurance companies HAVE to cover both windshield repair and replacement for free with no deductible. If the crack is small enough and not in your immediate eye line, they will repair it, else replace.

We refer to our XTerra is the "Rock Magnet". We have had 4 windshields (including the original) in 3.5 years. The first replacement was within a month of purchase. Fortunately, our glass deductible is $50.

Same thing happen to me =( Your insurance can cover it BUT its a pain in the *** so I just replaced my windshield out of my own pocket. Cost me 225. Not bad huh?

Wasn't a pain for me to get it fixed on my old car a few years ago. I called up my insurance company then (Esurance) after about a 5 minute conversation I had a repair guy scheduled to come to my apartment the following day, and it took about 30 minutes to replace. Was quick and easy for me.

unfortunately the crack is too large to repair(where they inject stuff into crack) so they have to replace the entire windshield, glass shop said 3 hrs!!!

sh*t, does that effect your insurance? are you paying more to reduce your deductible??

I had a windshield replace by some mobile guys that do it in your driveway. Worked like a charm but they don't use OEM glass. The only negative was the far edges of the windshield had some distortion when you look through it.

They didn't use OEM glass on the 370Z? I'm surprised there is an aftermarket windshield available for the Z.

No, that was for my old Audi A4. Never changed my Z's windshield.

Ah okay. Last I heard they don't have an aftermarket replacement yet. I need to get mine replaced soon, just got ANOTHER nice one right in the middle of my windshield. So much ******* construction. Ugh!

Alberta is bad for windshields i change mine every year, currently i have a crack across my window and about 4 big chips, like quarter size and bigger, but it's winter and the roads are still full of crap, so it will be getting changed in May some time.

so got the windshield replaced w oem glass had to wait 3hrs in total...1 to 1.5hrs for work to replace then 1 to 1.5hrs sitting so sealant can cure, a liability thing so windshield won't pop-out or shift.

:bowrofl:

Make sure its done right. On almost all cars the windshield is a loadbearing structural component.
