Windshield Question

I got a mean crack running through my line of site the other day, and I was curious to see if anyone has replaced their windshield yet, and if so how much did it cost. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thats a lot better than the 600 dollar quote I got, this thing needs to be fixed quick, its about 13 inches left to right, and then it gos up 6 inches and down another 6. It sucks. I suppose I should be going to speedy soon then. Thanks for the quick reply.

Man, your insurance compnaies suck. My company will replace it for free. Check with the fine print, windshields are usually special and a major safety item.

You guys dont live in alberta....
You dont realise how common broken glass is here.

Generally unless you ask for it. glass coverage is optional.

Yes windshield coverage is optional for us. I would rather not go through insurance if i didnt have to.. i mean, if the deductible is the same amount as the windshield then theres no point. With our luck, our insurance will go up lol
