****, i have a cracked windshield. how much is this bitch going to cost to replace?

 

How large and of what type is the crack?

 

don't you have to replace the whole thing?

the initial crack is smaller than a dime, but its starting to make lines.

 

a new windshield would probably cost between $120-$210 depending on where you go. some places are cheaper than others.. doesn't take that long for them to do either.

if you have the cash, call up some place that comes to YOU to fix it.

i have a pretty big crack across my windshield. can't wait to get it replaced!

If it's still rather small, you can almost definitely have it repaired rather than replace the whole windshield (unless the damage is directly in front of the driver). Call up some local windshield repair shops and they'll can give you additional information and quotes. Whenever possible, I'd much prefer having a windshield repaired rather than replaced.

 

I have a guy whos doing mine for 110 installed. My girl friend got pissed off at me and threw her cellphone at my windshield, makeing a spider web looking crack on it that got bigger into the winter and is now at my drivers side, I've been driving with my inspection dead now for 3 months, cracked windshields suck

 

my friend got his whole windshield replaced for 175, and they come to your house n do it..

 

i get them done for about 100 ... installed with new glass ...

 

where in so cal?

same here if you have full coverage its free !

 

I had mine done for about $140, new glass, but I had to take it to a shop. Depending on the size, the person can fix individual dings without replacing the whole thing

Can anyone confirm that with full coverage it is free to have a windshild replaced? What about the deductable, does it not apply to this? I have a big crack on my windshield too thats getting bad and need to get a new one ASAP. Thank you.

Why not just call your insurance company?

Good point!

 

Try fixing it yourself for 8$. At autozone,advance,etc they have things that do a pretty good job of repairing stars and bulls eyes and small cracks. Basically they include a syringe that sucks all the air outta the crack and then injects liquid glass and you let it dry and scrape off the excess liquid glass.

 

I worked for Advance for three years, and apparently it works very well... I had a couple of regular customers who I showed it to, and they came back and said it hasn't spread or anything. They said it didn't look as good as the afterwards picture on the package, but after three months of changing weather, it didn't spread.

 

I have a dime crack on my windshield also, not a biggie but its a blemish and im a perfectionist. How does it work to repair a crack in a glass? I have never heard of it before! Also, how good does it look afterwards? Does it look flawless or do you still "some" of it? Thanks.

 

i'm gonna get it done in a month or so i'll let you know.

 

in So Cal. theres a spot right off of garfield and the 105. they charged me $100 for my civic hatch windshield
btw... i wanted to go through my insureance but i had to pay the $500 deductible

 

Claiming it on most insurance policies will also cause your rates to increase at renewal time -- better off fixing it out-of-pocket.

A tree limb fell recently and smashed mine . Safelite Auto Glass is coming to my house on Wed. to replace it -- $199, quality replacement, good warranty, etc. On their web site, if you "request a quote", they take your info and call you back within the next 30 minutes .
