Windshield Replacement

[VibeOwnerSince02]

Just my luck, driving home from work today and some massive rock flies out of a dump truck and nails the windshield, pretty much shattering it. Kind of late in the day to get a quote, but I shattered the windshield on my 2003 Vibe and it cost around $350. I'm guessing it'll be a bit more on the 2009 GT. Any thoughts?

No glass coverage on your auto insurance?

Both of the times I've had to have mine replaced insurance covered it 100%Be sure to post a picture of the busted windshield in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=32825

With a $500 deductible it's not worth it. A new one cost $270. I had this happen on my 2003 Vibe and my insurance told me it's not even worth making a claim. As far as glass coverage, I have no clue. I will check right away though, thanks.

my windshield got hit by a rock while driving on the fwy today too hit the passenger side near the pillar and the crack was about 5-6 inches long. i was driving with my a/c on when it happened and after i parked and went shopping and came out, the crack grew about 2 inches then by the time i got home the crack was over a foot long yikes! well i got a quote for $314 to replace the windshield. they said they use factory glass so with tax and everything it's about $333. on my previous car it only cost $170 but used aftermarket glass.

y not just get aftermarket glass? i'm on my 3rd windshield and went to speedy to get it replaced.

ouch! are you going to get it tinted again too? after replacing the windshield and getting it tinted again, you will def be true to your name

I actually just got a new winshield not too long ago because of a rock hitting it.With insurance it was like 100 dollars because of the glass coverage.

0 deductible full glass coverage on insurance is a wonderful thing.Your windshields are cheap! A Matrix windshield goes for $500-700 installed depending if you want the tinted strip up top or not.

yeah i'm going to have to get it tinted again. there goes $200 on tint btw i just went check this morning and the crack grew another half foot or something damn lol

[lowincash]

wow the guy replaced my windshield in like less than 20 minutes. i thought it would take over half our or more. i went in the house to get him a soda and came out and the windshield was out already. anyways, i'm already scheduled to have my windshield tinted tomorrow =D

Jeffrey, Thanks for the windshield link to the auto glass guru. I had an oak branch smash into my parked windshield today. I am shopping around and I went to the link and got this quote:"You can order the following glass replacement online and schedule it in minutes.Description: Green Tint (other glass types may be higher)Estimated Parts: $163.06Estimated Labor: $75.00 Taxes: $0.00TOTAL PRICE INCLUDING LIFETIME WARRANTY: $238.06* May require a new molding for an additional $46.88" I doubt my insurance covers it so this sounds like a good price to me. I called my insurance company anyway and they made an appt. for me with Safelite mobile unit for about the same price. I find out on Monday how much of it I will have to pay myself.Thanks, BlueRidge

Update on a happy ending:Safelite mobile unit came to my office parking lot at 9am on Monday, Aug. 24th (the morning after I called) and replaced my windshield in less than 2 hours. It had to sit for a few hours while the adhesive set up and I had to leave the side windows slightly cracked during that time. The guy was very professional and best of all my insurance DID cover most of it so I only paid the $100 deductible. I was very pleased and I've had no trouble since then.

Seriously look into the 0 deductible glass coverage on your insurance. The cost is minimal for the policy addition but it's so worth it.

The site seems legit enough, at least for the quote part. $227.83 to replace the windshield in the Sunfire using a Portland zip number which is about right!
