I go hit with the stone/rock/pebble on Sunday. Looked at it when I got home and thought no big deal. Went out to get in the car yesterday 3" long crack. Safelite made it disappear...free repair with my insurance. Whenever a car is 3-4 years old in Colorado, a new windshield will be required.

I guess if it's not getting bigger, there's not much to fear right? Also yes, I hate stone chips, makes me very angry when cleaning the windshield and trying to get it crystal clear an unable to due to the damn chips..


My friend I was referring to yesterday: Her 'crack' runs from one side of the car clear across to the other... I'm afraid for my own safety when I get in her car (of which I try to minimize greatly)

We get a lot of cracks & chips here too (we use salt for de-icing when "warm" enough and rock pebbles for extra grip when too cold), I've just been lucky.
Depends on the cars too obviously, older Jeeps are notable for having their windshields break constantly.

Fingers crossed anyway, I don't think I have any windshield repair on my insurance.

thoiboi

Gary,

I assume they used that epoxy stuff to fill in the crack? How's that anyway? It sounds like a great concept (not having to replace an entire windshield) but I question its clarity.

I drove my Durango for about 3 years with a small spider web crack in it. It didn't run until we had a really cold day, below zero F*. Crack isn't really dangerous in so far as the windshield fully shattering or falling out tho...thos cracks are in the outside layer of glass.

Yeah, thanks dude. But, a promise is a promise and the next time Vegas is on my radar, I'll be firing you and the others a note.

And anyone else here who wants to meet the nutbar wacist -guy who has more robots than he can count.

GKinColo08TL

Yes, some sort of epoxy...they actually suck the epoxy into the crack. It's not in the line of sight, they won't repair one that is. Mine is in the upper drivers side corner. Unless I get at exactly the right angle I can't see it. Windshields are most vulnerable to cracking near the edges.

Guy at work that had his Mini sunroof explode on the highway was given a X1 while it was getting repaired.
He cleans the snow off the wiper on the driver side and the blade part flies away as he swipes it with his glove to remove the ice. Instinctively he lets go of the wiper arm and tries to grab the flying blade part and at the same time realizes his mistake... The wiper arm swings back at the bottom of the windshield and only the metal end makes contact with the windshield. Instantly makes a spider web crack, which then with the around -10F weather of the following days made the crack span the whole windshield left to right.

He tried to tell BMW it wasn't his fault because the wiper blade attach was broken (obviously they don't notice that when they give you the loaner car...) but ultimately he resorts to calling his credit card company which has protection for that to cover it. Problem is his CC wouldn't cover it because he wasn't paying for the loan but had only a deposit for it (BMW was the one paying), since they were giving him the loaner while they repaired his Mini...

In the mean time BMW billed him almost $700 for the repair of the windshield, so he called them back and yelled at the girl on the other end of the line saying he never approved of this and would get back to her.

So he called his personal insurance company and they actually covered it for $50 deductible, which is much better than $700... He got reimbursed by BMW and received his Mini not a week after.



Yeah hot & cold will mess up a windshield sometimes, really depends how it's broken.

I like how you quoted yourself

Yumcha

Son of a...how did that happen?

I had meant to quote YOUR post.


















I blame reposts.

Haha yeah man that'd be awesome! I'll be in touch.

Dude has bad luck with glass. My buddy cracked my windshield with his head once. He was drunk and getting out of my car and weirdly jerked his head into the glass as he was getting out backwards. I started laughing my ass off and he was like "what's so funny?" I told him he just cracked my window with his head and he was like "Oh shit, I'm so sorry! Here!" and then he threw his wallet at me which made me laugh even harder. He wasn't injured at all and I didn't take any money from him.

He's putting that hard head to use now in MMA.

polobunny

Bad luck doesn't even word it, sunroof exploded on the highway while he was driving to meet me for an in flames + opeth show. During that show he lost his fitbit he just got from his dad.

Also wtf what did your friend do? Guess you have to be lucky/unlucky to be able to pull that off.

I've had a chip I can feel with my fingernail for 6 years now...a little super glue and a razor has held me over.

Yummy...I meant more in the sense of being able to throw caution to the wind and spending many thousands of dollars. I'm not even a real fan of strip clubs...but mainly because I know if a chick is nice to you it's because it's her job, it attracts degenerate nasty people, I always get embarrassed staring at someone's pussy when they're looking me in the face.

I do enjoy a good time...still do, always have and have many regrettable stories we laugh about from my youth.

Yumcha

Ah. Well, I think what Miz described is more an exception to the rule. I certainly cannot say I've spent $10K ever on a wild@$$ party with my buddies...

The most I've spent on a vacation was $8K and that was including my wife to Japan and Taiwan for a nearly 3 week trek.

Not just any doctor.. dermo.. in da tropics..

..and you think his car is nice.. his crib is even nicer. Some people spend their money on a nice car, live in a shit apartment. His crib is in one of the richest neighborhoods on Oahu.


Nice......

It's not about how you party, it's who you party with. If you went to Vegas by yourself, you'd probably be depressed.. now if you went with me.. salads would be tossed. Ours of course..

Fucking Douglar told a story about eating, gambling, and get the squirts. He ran back to his room, which was in the casino next door. On the way some hooker tried to accost him.. he responded.. "no time to party, need to shit"

I know it, Maj...honestly, I bring the party with me wherever I go. I went to Vegas with Betty...collected the naked cards of hookers and was shuffling them. People thought I was nuts asking if that was my GF next to me...she just laughed. We had a great time...broken heel on shoe, had to carry her 2 miles back...getting sauced on the edge of the stratusphere...

This was 2 days after getting engaged on the beach at Little Coronado and a night in Big Bear. We do well...spent $2500 for 10 days there and stayed all along the coast.

I'd watch you get your salad tossed though...I can't get in no trouble for that!
