Rock vs. Windshield

by **anwagbo3000** » Wed Jun 25, 2008 3:46 pm

Man...i was driving down 895 to go to work this morning and on the way while i was driving a rock came and hit my windshield.

It hit on top of the dot matrix to the right, and when i got to work there was no issue, just a small dent where the rock hit, so i figure, well at the least there is no crack.

Just to my freakin luck, i m driving home and i notice that there is a curvy line in my windshield, that was no curvy line, it was a hair freakin line fracture in my windshield.

I do not have any pics because i am to pissed to even care about taking pics, the crack almost looks like a hook.

I called toyota and they estimated it to cost 2000 dollars to fix, phuck....i am so angry man, i just hope that the crack does not get any bigger :evil:

No insurance?

Dont call toyota for this, call companies / shops around ur area that do windshield repair/replacement.

I remember for my old camry it was 200 bux to replace the windshield, i doubt a windshield for ur car is 2 grand.

+1 If you have full coverage

It takes about an hour to replace it. Most windshield shops will do it at home or while your car is at work.

My insurance deductable was $100. Well worth it.

Check with your agent to see what comprehensive coverage you have.

It's a law here in FL, insurance companies have to fix your windshield with no deductible.

Definitely ask your agent. Besides, a windshield would never be covered under a warranty (unless the seal failed or something, not crack from a rock).

LOL...some of the places around here used to advertise that they'd come to you work to fix it and you got a box of steaks :lol:

Hmm... Free new windshield AND some porterhouse to chow down on? I'm heading out to Miami... With a hammer :lol:

Check your insurance. Replacing my windshield was free if I used a company off their list. The Toyota windshield was WAAAAAAY overpriced.

If it's too $$$$$ then get it to a shop pronto. They'll do a repair for cheap. They drill the ends of the crack and fill with epoxy so you cna barely see it and it won't keep growing.
