Did you get glass insurance?

[Rruuff Day]

Replaced my HUD windshield last week... GM supplied, Crystal Glass installed. $1200 and change all in. Wholesale supply price cause my dealer likes me... lol....

Good info
Makes sense the price is half of what it was as the C7 has been around for 6 years now.

My insured HUD replacement in July-Aug 2017 had a unit cost of $970 plus removal and installation labour and sealant. It was part of an overall claim that involved more work. I can see $1500 being a norm.

Someone front end you Spence?

No ... only 1000+ rocks in an unexpected chip seal repair stretch on a three lane highway. Brutal experience however a full non-collision (comprehensive) repair that included the pitted windshield.

Hi all. I was just wondering how many of you got glass insurance on your car, since it seems to be no longer offered under your regular auto insurance. A friend of mine highly recommended getting it, as the glass can be very expensive to replace if damaged. If you have it, have you ever needed to make a claim? If so, how did that go?
My insurance agent said it would be around $180/year for it, but she would need to see the car to ensure it is not already damaged, since my car is 4 years old.

No, I will be parking it like the rest of you, but I am known to be a worrier, according to my wife.
A few months after I got my truck, a vehicle in front of me on the freeway kicked up a stone and it went right into my windshield, causing a very large crushed circle. I tried to get it repaired, but it was not able to be eliminated, so I eventually replaced the windshield. Even side windows cane be $$$ to fix, from what I’ve heard. I’d does seem to be like Murphy’s law....if you have insurance, you won’t need it, if you don’t have insurance, sure as hell something will happen.

Welcome to “the OCD club” and even your Doctor won’t know anything about treating your OCD now ... even if they perhaps have one ...

Peace of mind.

In Calgary they use fine gravel on the roads in winter not sand. Windshields don't stand a chance.

Yup. I see windshields as a replacement item. The shop that did the paint protection on our SUV offered a windshield coating that was supposed to “strengthen” it but it was $100.00 and had to be redone every 3 years. An aftermarket replacement windshield was $350.00. The coating didn’t make a lot of sense.
