No. VA area windshields / glass replacement

Anyone have any recommendations?

I picked up a nice long crack across the windshield, a week before my inspection was due. :finger:

safelite wants $550..... Im hoping thats not a typical price.

Evan,

In my experience, insurance will cover it and again, in my experience, it didn't affect my rate. Also, do your best to get OEM glass vs. a knockoff glass. I got a generic class in the F150 once and the optics were bad, and it chipped easier. The next time (yeah, yeah), I got Ford OEM and it was much better.

Need one for the Edge and we just did the Camry a couple months ago, both about $350 through Safelite. Still want to call around on the Edge, I'll let you know if I find something cheaper...

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...

$500 deductible Sad (even after paying $340 a month premiums :evil: )
I talked to my agent and he said that they dont cover OE glass. (which is $850)

I didnt realize the cheap glass can have bad optics, that really sucks.

I've got a guy in Winchester that is really good and usually affordable (though obviously it depends on the vehicle) if you'd be willing to make a drive.

Let me know if you want his number.
