Default If it makes you feel better, others have done this and claimed it through insurance...and...

...told the truth about how the glass got broken. This is an honest claim.

Default I did something similar and put it through insurance...

I told them up front that I had broken the windshield myself. The only question they had was if I had done it on purpose, I said no, it was stupidity on my part...they covered it with no issues

Default I cracked our allroad windshield when I replaced the RV mirror. Ins. did not cover as we

a $ 500 comp. deductable & $ 1k collision. I had it replaced by a glass shop for $ 380 and avoided a claim.
