    Cracked Windshield.... ugh

    Just need to vent....

    A few days after making the XK my DD again I get a nice crack in the windshield.

    Looks repairable, but just too big for me to try repairing so I set up an apt to have it repaired Saturday morning. $170.... damnit.

    That sucks man! $170 is a hit but I know all to well about broken windows, the drivers door, rear door and 1/4 glass were $1300 to replace!

    And im pretty sure our windshield is almost that much alone due to the rain sensing wipers and auto headlights... hence why im not trying a self repair kit!

    That sucks. That's why I love USAA Ins! My glass is covered with $0 deductible. It pays to be military....well sometimes.

    Same with my insurance, its a Fla mandate that insurance replaces windshields at no cost, another reason I will stay a Fla resident!!

    I have Usaa, and I had a crack from side to side and it covered it for 0$ but I felt sorry for the guy replacing my windshield in 100 degree heat, so I cooked him some at work, when he came to my job.

    I got back on the phone with geico.... the rep this morning didn't know that comprehensive deductibles are waived for windshield "repairs".

    Now I have to keep my fingers crossed its repairable.... $750 deductible will make a new windshield hurt. (pretty sure its an expensive windshield due to rain sensing wipers)

    I paid about $220 for rain sensing aftermarket windshield with install when in Cali so it's not "that" bad when compared to the deductible if it can't be repaired.
