My first windshield crack
 
:sad2:
I caught a rock from a transport on the weekend and now I have a small (less than six inches) crack. what kind of ballpark am I looking at for replacement?

get $0 deductible on your comprehensive insurance. The first windshield replacement will cover the annual increase in your premium.

How long have you had a crack problem? Nevermind, just re-read post. Sorry! :rotflmao2:

Same happened to me two weekends ago.

My insurance paid for it ($0 deductible) but I saw the invoice, it was just under $240 (Boston area). Safelite came and replaced it in my driveway. Great service, I'm happy.

if you want safelite to come to you its an extra $20. and they charge a $20 glass disposal fee. the local windsheild guys here all quote me at $180 installed. im not gonna go thru insurance. im just gonna pay out of pocket for mine

Exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. My insurance covered it ($50 deductible) I saw the invoice, it was $212.00. Safelite came and replaced it in my driveway. Unfortunately, now it whistles a little bit over 30mph.

Do they replace it with a windshield that has the little Jeep icon and the grille sticker (top center)?

Why? $0 deductible is only an extra $4/month for me, that's around $50/year additional cost. This gets me unlimited windshield or broken glass repair. I get a new windshield every year.

Get insurance
 
Get insurance if you can. I'm on my 4th replacement in almost 2 years, with only one repair. When you catch something it doesn't graze off!:eek2:
