there arent cracks, there are scratches, and they are right in my field of vision. they were 'better before' i.e. only the top corners but now.. worse. the service mgr. at the dealer just called back and said they could replace the windshield for cost of part only $320 and do free installation. i think my comp deductible for glass with state farm is $100. im going to talk to them tomorrow and see what they say, if the clain would effect my rates, etc. if it costs me $100 to get the new windshield, its worth it. $320 though is steeeeeep right now.
i guess i understand where he is coming from. he can work with me but since its the kind of thing that i guess 'could have happened anywhere/anytime' and im just now noticing, he cant just give me a new windshield for free. seriously bums me out.
i contacted VWoA about it and they took down some info but said that I'd have to make a formal complaint for it to get back to the dealer and start a review. The dealer has been good to me so far and looked the other way with my mods and i don't want to start some hostility saga over the stupid windshield, since yeah.. can't really 'prove' they did it and he's attempting to work with me on it. so i didn't file a complaint.
if you go to a body shop/glass place recommended by state farm, do they get an OEM windshield or some other kind? i don't want some random windshield in my car from 'harry's glass of sun valley' or some shit..
