Cracked Windshield

Post by wart57 »

I have had my new car for 2 weeks. When I was driving the wifes family to the pool last night a work van sped by me at about 65 mph in a 45 zone, threw up a rock that hit my winshield and put a star crack in my windshiled about the size of a quarter. I f***ing hate Arizona and it's stupid f***ing desert landscaping. :rant: :rant: :evil: :evil:

Does your auto insurance repair it at no cost (assuming the crack can be repaired as opposed to replacing the entire windshield)? I had that happen a couple of times when I lived in St. Louis and my auto ins. always had it repaired (for free) by one of those companies that come to your workplace. Hope it works out!

I had my insurance co. send out the rock chip repair guy once. He cracked my entire windshield. But they make you sign a waiver before they work on your windshield, saying you acknowledge and accept the risk of cracking.

So...beware.

I just wanted to point out that you misspelled windshield 16 years ago.

Which is, of course, someone who intentionally puts on one sock from one pair and the other sock from another, while making the socks that were left out watch as he puts the others on.

Threads like these should be revisited every three or four lustrums. See you in 2039!
