Well any sugestions on who to goto to replace a windshield..........my nice new Yaris met it's match today witha tiny little rock on the freeway..........windshield is severly cracked and getting worse just sitting there............

 

insurance deductible? Otherwise lots of places around that do windhields for like $200

 

Yeah it will end up being insurance charge.........bad part is we just got insured for it like 3 days ago cause Farmers did not return our calls for a week so we said screw them..........what I way to start out with a new company...........

 

Looks as if I can get it changed Friday after noon.........there went my dinner money........well there is always the dollar menu..........

 

Wait.....Hooters has a dollar menu???

 

We all promised that we must never talk about hooters, atleast me and brian...lol

 

That sucks Brian! I almost had mine replaced today with a $100 deductible. luckily for me the guy was very cool and said they can just fill them in. Unfortunately I have to wait until tomorrow

 

I was on the way to Speedy glass to have them fill it........I pulled up to the light at my street and I hear a nasty sound.......if you have ever heard it you know.........I look over and the thing has a 15" crack all the way across the passenger side.........if the car was a bit older I would just live with it .........but it is 10 days old..........LOL.........

I guess a windshield is better than the hood or bumper repair that cost me $250 deductable........it is frustrating...........

Hooters for the Win............I love Hooters..........I do not htink Hooters has a dollar menu but I do know Dejavu has a dollar menu.........well sort of...........

 

i have a chip in my windshield now too..... debating if should get it fixed b4 the road trip...

but 2400miles of free way driving i have a feeling just invites another chip or more...

so i'll keep the current one and maybe get it fixed in vegas... maybe

 

yeah that is alot of road for it to crack on or get a buddy chip.........I woudl think the xB woudl be horrid for rock chips.......the Yaris is pretty angled so I was amazed it did what it did........

 

Sad about the Yaris getting dinged so soon, B. It doesn't deserve it.

(I hope they have a lot of spare windshields available at the Scion United area... Just getting there is going to take out a few.)

 

I do not know you you xB guys do it......that think is just asking for rocks to hit it it is so flat........

New windshield is going in at 4 tonight.........after my week I called to verify they really had one......for my car.........cause at this point I might bite.........kinda ____ed about my other parts........

I am glad a rock did not dent the car or something or chip it...........windshield is much cheaper........

 

(Vanilla seems to average about 8000 miles/windshield.)

 

Yahoo the new windshield is now in.......insurance company called a few minutes after it was installed and tried to tell us we were not covered...blah blah blah.........then werre surprised when Cindy got nasty with the person.........after the last 10 days of trying to get ahold of a live person to get my car insured properly.....for them to say we needed to be more diligent........a swift kick in the nuts is what they are gonna get from me......hate insurance companies..........Farmers is not gettign a dime from me next month.......

 

lol well atleast you got a new windshield

 

Keep good records of your attempts to contact them, write down NOW as much as you can remember, just in case they get nasty and try to refuse coverage.

Oh yeah we keep really good records of every attempt......everything........cindy is a freak at keeping records...........drives me looney.........our agents secratary has our account noted and up to date.........our agent has no clue of what he is doing though.........what a week...........

I try to use good insurance companies so I do not have problems and this time around I have nothing but issues.........and they kept raising my rates even with no claims or accidents or nothign........

think I need a nice cold brewhaha..........

 

that is a great site Thomas........looks like they are gonna get one more complaint too.......LOL.

When the guy backed intothe tC months back they wanted to have me take pictures of the damage and send it to them........I laughed........I have a horrid camera that does not work..........they insisted I could go buy one.......... glad the guys insurance was cool about it as they are out of state collectors car insurance........

 

I was wondering if anybody has ever tried that crystal clear body protecting (bra stuff) plastic sheet on the windshield?

I know older vinyl and clear plastic didn't do so well with sun but that new stuff is supposed to be so much better. I just wonder if it's optically clean enough for a windshield?

 

good question........
