Most insurance companies will offer a zero dollar deductible windshield
replacement rider on your comprehensive coverage. You have to ask for it
and what it costs. I have gone thru 8 windshields in 5 years and was
threatened by my insurance company of having the coverage dropped (USAA of
San Antonio TX). I insisted that a privately owned glass shop install a
Honda OEM windshield once and that one did not last any longer than the
national chain shop installs. I have windshields last anywhere from 1 hour
to 10 years. They will crack 24 7 and 12 months a year. Stay away from
salt ers and snow plows. Once a crack forms, do not turn on the
defroster. If you want anymore info email me privately.

It sounds about right.

This advice is not for you but for anyone else that gets a chip or ding in
their windshild. Don't wait (like John did) but instead take it to a shop
that fixes and replaces windshields. They will inject a special fluid--it
looks like a thick clear glue--into the ding or chip. Your windshield will
look like it never had a chip or ding when the job is done. You won't have
any more problems related to the chip or ding after it has been repaired.

That's good advice...the only reason I didn't act sooner was because the
chip was in the very bottom of the windshield - the black portion that
cannot be seen from inside the car. I guess it didn't worry me as much as it
should have!!

thanks,
John
