So i'm driving along and there's this flatbed truck towing one of those tar-steamroll things and this lil rock goes WHACK into the very top of my windshield. Within a few miles I had a crack about 12" long. It really sucks.

I am debating whether to get a new windshield now or wait until spring when all the salt and sand from winter is gone.

 

I would say wait till its starts to crack some more.. if not just let it slide..

<<this coming from someone who lost the windsheild liner the 2nd day he bought the car and has spent over $10,000 on the car and not fixed the $100 part>>

 

i have a crack on my windshield as well...i'd rather mod my car than fix the stupid crack...i'll wait until it goes all the way across

 

damn.. that sucks nuts... why not go get it replaced now? too cold?
i did a glass fixing kit cuz i had a chip and the **** NEVER dried and it got all over my windshield... ****in blows monkey

 

it might get a lot worse with some freezing and thawing. you'll have to replace it soon enough.

 

its dangerous to have, i'd get it replaced ASAP, its covered under insurance so its no big deal right?

 

You have a foot long crack? That sucks, you should at least have it stop drilled so it doesn't spread and caue more problems later.

 

Why bother? I mean, the comp deductible is $250 and the windshield is only $400. So you save what, $150 ? And your rates might be affected.. not worth it mun

 

You might want to contact your insurance company. My glass coverage does not have a deductable, are you sure yours does? I've had full glass coverage for years and it has really come in handy several times.

i guess what i'm saying is it is probably not worth the hassle if filing a claim will have an impact on my rates

 

Yep, and for the majority of policies it is not even a chargeable event ( i.e. it wont drive up your insurance premiums and sometimes not even subject to deductible). If you let them do it, they will probably have someone change it in your parking lot at work. This is the most common claim there is.

 

on my insurance its non-deductible... and yea its a really common problem it wont drive up your rates i'm pretty sure
