So after all the fun snow and sub-zero temperatures of this week I know have a 2 foot horizontal crack in my windshield.

And this is out of nowhere! No chips or any other impact points!

Anyone know how much a new windshield is?

 

if you have insurance it is probbaly covered

 

Most insurance companies will cover it... if not your talking about $150... just remember there are aftermarket ones that are pretty bad quality... then you have OEM ones you can get at a junk yard or glass place from another Max..

 

thanx for the info, the situation though just sucks!

 

im in your freakin club, 2 foot crack in the windshield.....

 

What part of NYC are you from?... Try the junk yards behind Shea Stadium...

 

Headin to the yards in Hunts Point

thanx

 

as long as you have had the car and it has been insured for 6 months then insurance will cover the replacement. so just take it to giant glass or someplace like that and they will do it and your insurance will pay at least most of it

 

yeah, i replace windshields and other glass...all it takes is a small chip that you can barely see. Especially with this cold weather, when you have the heat on in your car, the glass expands and contracts with the heat inside and the cold outside and causes it to crack. Just check with your insurance company or as others said, get a good junkyard windshield and have a local auto glass company put it in for ya.

 

Happened to me, I had a crack in my windscreen not too big but noticable, was driving windows were foggy, I put the heat on the windscreen, I heard two crack, and I saw it shoot accross my windscreen.

I need a new windshield also.

 

that sux man, where is the crack? is it down bottom, if so its probably because your defroster was on too high. it happened to my friend not long ago. good luck.

 

Well all fixed now. Hit up an auto glass/parts & junkyard so the total hit was $110 installed. All I can say is wow I can see again - even with the old windshield clean still has nothing on this one (I guess after 200000miles the windshield takes a beating).

Mine cracked almost right in the middle - coming out of a tiny little rock hit (found it while trying to see where the crack started)

And yeah it is definitely from having the defroster on in this lovely NYC weather this past week.

 

Hey i got my winshield replaced during summer and the idiot put to much pressure on the window while installing. Couple days later while raining i noticed water was getting in through the window.

 

that would be from a poorly laid bead of urethane. If you run it too thin, or don't butt up each start of a new bead of urethane, that will cause a gap that will allow it to leak.
