Default AAAaaaaargh!!! Wife just called and said a rock hit windshield and cracked it

FNIN shat.....

Size is smaller than a quarter eye level on drivers side, will the dealer replace or is this going to have to be an insurance claim?

Default She said it is small so I am going to call Safelite and have them try to repair

the estimate is $70, so hopefully they can fix this without replacing the windshield.

Default Send me your VIN and I'd be happy to quote you on a new OEM windshield.

Less expensive than you might think.

Default Take on Carson's offer. It's not worth filing a claim

My new windshield was about $380, with installation &amp; taxes. having a $250 deductible, I just paid out my pocket for it &amp; saved a claim for a time when a bigger damage happens.

New windshield was my best mod of 2006. Stunning clarity vs. old, chipped one.
