Windshield Damage - Repair or Replace?

Coogie

Ready to race!
Is this repairable? Full replacement will cost me 300-400. Picture is of front windshield.



I don't feel the cracks when I run my finger over it from inside, but definitely on the outside.

Is Glass covered by your auto insurance? Mine is included with comprehensive. Free repairs and$50 deductable for replacement.

i think it needs to be replaced. I thought only chips/scratches could be repaired i didnt think a round crack could be..

But i dont know to be honest.. In florida the insurance company has to pay for a new windshield at no cost the owner if its damaged.

I think that will need a replacement, the glass is completely compromised since it is a full circle.

In most cases, anything smaller than a dollar bill can be repaired, but depends on the details. also, if you have more than 6 chips/cracks int eh glass overall they generally recommend replacement as well.

Check your insurance coverage.

Time for a new windshield. Your comprehensive insurance should cover it minus whatever deductible you have.

I have comprehensive insurance. Damage happened when driving from Iowa to Illinois. Apparently it's a glass deductible of 500. Wish I had same law as Florida concerning windshields but they aren't required to.

Bump your comprehensive deductible down to like $50; doesn't cost very much to add that.

On tapatalk when i saw the picture i thought the circle was that you circled the small nick in the middle with a marker lol. yeah that needs to be replaced but to be sure go to a glass specialist see what they say.

Need to replace mine as well. Thankfully, I get to pay $0, NO DEDUCTIBLE.
