I've never had a cracked windshield, how do you break so many lol

Ha! Mine was just hit by a rock last week and also need replacing.Only had the car for 7 months. I had my '88 cavalier for 13 years with out an incident.

I was waiting for the winter rock flinging season to end. Hey ArcsVibe, how much is your deductable for windshield replacement?

i usually like to wait until it's totally toast. but the new sube has windshield wiper warmers so that means $$$ if i have to replace the silly thing. my dad got a windshield repair kit from walmart that he uses and it does a very good job. some of them you can barely see the pit! so we have to pick us up some!

I have countless of those tiny cracks (easy to see when the sun hit the winshield) and one good crack. like TRDVIBE, I'll wait as long as I can before changing it.

Hey ArcsVibe, how much is your deductable for windshield replacement?My deductable is 100$ each time they replace the windshield and 0$ if they can repair it.....Merzbow if you ever come down to Montreal you will know why I break so many of them LOL like TheWhite said the roads here SUCK!!

See, I though tsand would be better than the d*mn salt they use here, but I gues not!!!! That salt though sure does make your car look like a pile of sh*t, and also if you've got rust you are done for!

They use tons of salt too. At the very sight of a snowflake they start spreading the evil white crystals. But we don't have to worry about that for 8 months or so. WOO HOO!

I've already replaced the glass once, and now it's cracked again, but the crack is at wiper level, and I REFUSE to replace it until I have no choice -- October 2006, when state inspection comes around.

Well I just replaced it again, another 100$ to replace it......I think it's time to lower the car

(removed), that's a wonderful idea!

get a hood deflector

When I had my Grand Prix, I had several cracks in it. I hate rocks so bad! And having to drive behind dumptrucks with dirt, or flatbeds holding large construction equipment... They're notorious for dropping rocks. When they're in front of me at least.No cracks on my Vibe though. Knock on wood.

I don't know if I want to put one, I kinda think it will broke the look of my car, with the mags and drop...

I love mine....And BTW, I doubt lowering the car will make less rocks jitting the windsheild, but a Vibe lowered looks so much better
