First blemish on my xB was a nice cracking rock chip. It's still less than an inch. I bought a DIY kit to try and repair it, waiting for a sunny day. Eventually I'll just get it replaced but I don't wanna pay the $100 deductible more than I have to.

I saw a Camo xB in the gallery with a full bra and PMed the owner but never got a response and now I can't find the pic...

Which glass company did you use? How much was it?

Jaygayda (Jason) needs to replace his.

I know most of you are in Cali.
But here in Florida if you get a chip or crack in the front glass
the state of Florida will pay for it.Just let your insurance company know
and they will work it out with the state.
This is only true if you have full coverage.
It has saved me many times on past cars.

Just wondering, but does anyone with either a mesh or billet grille -- one that allows air flow to the engine -- have any cracks in their windshield...?

I got 2 beautiful cracks on my windshield but im gettin them fixed 2morrow. I called my insurance(Geico) full coverage gives u full glass coverage and don't have to pay the deductible. If after they fix it it starts to crack again, just have to call them get them the original claim number and they will replace my whole windshield.....I'm glad... :D

I have a small crack in my windshield as well. I also have one near the window where the paint has chipped off and the metal is showing through. It is getting a bit rusted. Anyone know if the Toyota dealership sells special touch-up paint for Scions?

i got my first chip a month ago or so and the other day, i guess because of the heat build-up in my xb, it spread across. i was so ____ed. then again just yesterday going about 55-65 mph merging onto the freeway, his stupid big rig was dropping gravel and i got another on the passenger side. i wasn't mad cause i had to replace it anyway, but my wife was ____ed at the truck. we need to complain to scion/toyota about this. maybe they'll issue a new windshield and one of 3m clear vinyl things to protect it since it's so prone to getting cracked GET UP, STAND UP
