this happened last night. driving on the highway, a van in front crushes the tire kicking it out back right into my windshield.

just glad it didnt crush my hood or roof. just wipers and glass.









with a LOT of tape. good as new.

 

Ouch!

 

LOL I didn't even notice the tape first time I looked at these, glad the rest of the car/you are okay dude

got tired of vacuming the glass out of the car

 

Tape = Always Ultimate solution

 

That sucks... but honestly I don't think anyone will notice Just be glad your okay, and stock up on tape.

 

Does the driver-side Recaro seat have a 'holy ****!' stain now? Personally, that would have scared the **** out of me...

 

Im amazed thats all that got damaged, it could have been a lot worse i guess.

How much does an ITR windshield go for ?

I know their thinnner than regular integra windshields, so i wonder if that means more expensive ??

 

Actually I believe the ITR windshield is the same as any Integra in the US. Price would depend on if you go OEM or not. I had a aftermarket windshield installed for around $100.

 

Damn that sucks.
Glad the rest of the car and you are okay.

 

did the trucker stop or keep going?

$530 something it was just in another thread yesterday

 

looks like what happened to my civic when the CF hood came up on me

 

Jesus, that sucks, if your window breaks in FL, the insurance comps pays for a new one

 

 

geez man, that really sucks. Glad you're ok though and the damage wasn't to anything major really.

 

you are one lucky dude. It could have been worse.

the shredded tire was already on the road and the van in front just happen to run it over shooting it into my windshield. so the van kept going.

i didnt even slow down. when my windshield got hit i was like who dropped a brick on me. my buddy told me that he saw it coming from the van. but too fast and late to do anything.

whats funny is that i just ran over a small piece of tire same night just a few min before this. and i got lucky on that too no damage to my bumper or lip. well if you call it luck.

 

OE glass or nothing... But PPG is good too.

please have it done right, once. the windshield is a big safety item and needs to be installed 100%.

 

dang, when i had to get glass, honda turned me away
they are like, well, if you really want to do it we can, but it will be about $900 just for the glass

they gave me the name of a place who came and installed for $210 i think
of course they left me a free dent on my new fender
(95 civic)

That's good, my bro had an integra a long time ago, the front windshield cracked, they tried putting some crap non OEM one in. He ended up having to wait 2 weeks for a new one.

 

That's crazy, it looks like your hood doesn't have a scratch on it.

 

Glad you are OK.....

It's not going to expand enough to cause damage BUT if the body of the car twists then it could touch the pinch weld area and cause it to crack.

If you were in the NYC area I could recommend a shop or do it myself for you.

BTW, silicone is not safe or good to install a windshield with, The proper adhesive is Urethane.
