Rock

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

A few years back I had a jeep toss a stone at my VX's windshield and got something like a "fisheye". I tried to get a glass place repair it that day; but, they were all closing for the day. So the best I could do was to take it in the next day. After getting repaired....it lasted until a cold winter day when I had the defrosters on..then...crack! I actually watched it crack from the passenger-side all the way over to the driver-side under the inspection sticker!

Got a new windshield installed by these guys and they even knocked $25 off of my $50 deductible. I left $25 lighter in the wallet but with a new (aftermarket) windshield. The only difference was the blue tint now at the top. I tried to get them to move the rearview mirror up just a tad but they said they couldn't.

Bart,

Most insurance companies will pay to have your windshield repaired. When a huge rock hit my windshield, I called to put in a claim and my insurance company kept asking me if it was repairable because they would pay for it. It wasn't, so I had to shell out the big bucks to have the windshield replaced. The cost of the replacement was just below my deductable so it was all on me.

I've had windshields repaired before, and in most cases you can't tell where the cracks where.

Good luck.
