    I don't know about ya'll, but when the safelite came to repair my windshield, it was just a regular windshield. The little black box that is stuck to your windshield is the rain sense, not the wipers.

    Yes, but its how that sensor "sees" through the windows. For instance all windshields block UV light... so if the sensor uses a similar wavelength to detect rain, that portion of the windshield is specially designed to allow it to work properly and that increases costs. Ive seen some windshields upwards of $900 due to specialized features like that.

    Glad to hear ours doesn't seem to be one of the expensive ones!

    Here you go, Matt...

    In October 2011 I paid a total of $319.93 including tax for an OEM windshield with the rain sensing wiper option. I had a choice of the glass with the tinting across the top or without. I went without. Same price, though. They came to my house for the install. They will come to your place of business as well.

    Good luck!

    So are the going to try to fix it or are you just looking to replace it. Because I'm sure the crack will spider out more between now and then.
