I have a 99 GS. There is a small crack, about 6 inches long, right in front of my face on the front window. I went to the dealership to see if they would repair it and they told me no. It would be $800 for a new "Honda" windshield. I don't have 8 bills and even if I did I wouldn't spend it on a window. Any suggestions on what I should do?

 

pick up a phone book and look in the yellow pages for windsheild repair/replacement. u can get a new one installed for like 3 bills

 

call around, i got mine replaced for 175.

 

A friend of mine has a 95 T-bird and he said they came to his house and replaced it for $120. What about a scrapyard?

 

Got mine replaced for 220 installed.

 

how is the dealership "out to get you" the price?

that's what i'm saying

Anyway, just call a glass store near you. Most glass shop have automobile services also and at the fraction of the price of the dealership.

 

The only thing good about dealerships is the warranty they give when they fix something and sometimes thats even in question!! NY local dealerships get the from me!!

 

dude there is a lot of places that you can go to for getting your windshield replaced. once mine was cracked, only paid about 120 + installment. that is so ghey, $800 for a windshield replacement

 

Its most likely covered under your comprehensive insurance if you have comp...

If the crack is smaller than a dollar bill, theyll come fix it for free.

 

dude the front windshield is insurance, its free the car insurance is supposed to pay for it, its a safety thing

Don't feel special. The dealership is out to get everyone and everything they can.

 

there are numerous auto glass repair businesses in the yellow pages. most will meet you wherever; work, home etc.

The car insurance won't pay it. That isn't over my deductible.

 

Depends on state law, I guess that's why everybody has a different story. Anyway, some states require that insurance companies waive the deductible for windshields. It's worth a phone call to your insurance; they'll tell you.

 

cuz the honda front window say HONDA PPG.
imo, just get any front window from any glass shop (apple autoglass, standard glass) thats from PPG and your good for lifef. way way cheaper too.

 

i don't think the dealership is out to get you. they just have high prices, that's all.

i doubt a windshield would be covered under warranty. that item is too easily cracked/damaged, like you've noticed. do what everybody else is saying and call up some glass places and see how much they'll charge to repair/replace it. there's not much you can expect the dealer to do in that case.

that's really good! the best i'v seen is $215 for a intergra

 

the price depends where you live.. here in so cal.. it cost like $120~$150 installed for one.

 

Should be around $300-400 for OEM installed.

 

I've gotten mine done twice. ran me about 150 each time
