i was driving on 295s and a truck threw a small pebble and my windshield and now i got a small crack. can i just patch it up or will i have to try to get it professionally done or a new windshield. the crack is maybe a mill. or 2 wide and its almost all the way thru. ill try to get a pic if i could. thanks

I'm pretty sure there are places that can fix a crack that small. Not sure though with the depth. Don't know of anyone outside the DC metro area though.

Good luck,

Joe

Call your insurance company. If you have comprehensive coverage you should be covered. They'll set you up with a windshield replacement place and they'll be able to look at it and determine whether it needs to be replaced or not. I had the same type of thing happen to me and I just took it in and they patched up my windshield. The cost for patching the windshield is $0, the cost for the entire replacement out of your pocket is the cost of your deductible, (usually $250 or so). Do it quickly because the longer you wait, the greater the chance of the crack spiderwebbing and forcing you to replace the windshield.

Comprehensive claims do not effect your insurance premiums either.

agreed. do it quick. i had mine filled. it was slightly larger than a nickel and when they were done you couldnt tell.
but now after my latest BOULDER that hit it (it looks like it was shot with a gun) i need a full replacement

I was lucky that I had 0 ded on comp in my insurance. It cosy >$700 from the dealers to fix which they replace with OEM glass and molding. I would never pay that much if my insurance did not cover it. If hte crack is small enough, the fix should be easy and cost effecitve.

i called my insurance company(usaa) and they said that a window wpecialist will be out to my area tomorrow to fix my windshield at no cost and if it isnt fixable i would just have to pay my deductable

If you use the ded, make sure you take it to the dealership so its done right. Since you will need to pay the ded. you might as well get the honda orginal parts and a certified labor person to install it and it will be backed up by the dealership.. Since you are the customer, you can demand this from the insurance carrier.
