Woe is me. I have had my 2005 for only a month or so, and one day last week, a stone (or something) hit my windshield as I was traveling at about 75 mph. A few days later, I discovered a large chip with two cracks extending in opposite directions.
I asked my dealer to give me a quote on replacement. I was not ready for the answer. I was told that replacement would cost me $1576. Can you believe that? I got a little upset and asked them how they came up with that number. They told me that the windshield lists for $3000 and that they had figured my price by giving me the windshield at their cost.
I will be checking on replacement with an independent installer, but I expect that I will still get a very high number due to the cost of the windshield itself. I was horrified, when I called my insurance company, to find that the $1000 deductible I have on the comprehensive portion of my policy, applies to glass breakage too.
Woe is me. Any suggestions or comments?
