Inexpensive Auto Glass
The number one question you have to answer, in regards to dealing with a cracked windshield, is whether you need a complete replacement (which will cost you around $200) or just a repair (which is priced at around $40).
The chances of you needing a replacement dramatically increase if your windshield has cracks, which make for an uneven surface. You're also more likely to need a replacement if you have cracks that are in the middle area of the windshield or at the perimeter edges of the windshield.
If we see a crack in our windshield we automatically assume the worst and think that the windshield is going to crack in no time. This is not really the case because the windshield consists of a 2 layers (2 plastic layers sandwich in a glass layer). As such, you can expect your windshield to last a long time without further damage, especially if the crack is tiny.
If you want to stay safe, however, it is advised that you call an auto glass service in your area. The crack may start getting bigger and bigger. And, before you know it, you're going to need a full replacement of your windshield.
You shouldn't worry too much if you realize that you need a replacement of the windshield. After all, glass is not nearly in the same price range as expensive auto parts. You can easily get a big discount on the cost of replacing your windshield if you go to a junkyard and find one there. Because glass has no color, you're very likely to find a windshield that matches your car.
After you purchase the used windshield from the junkyard, it is best that you seek the services of an auto glass business as you may cut yourself if you try to install the windshield by yourself. It will cost about $40 to get the pre-owned windshield installed.
A lot of people wonder whether their car insurance can pay for the costs to repair their windshield.
If cracks start appearing on the windshield from normal wear and tear, your auto insurance company is not going to compensate you unless you have comprehensive coverage. If the cracks are related to an auto accident in which the other party was found to be at fault, then their property damage liability will pay for the cost to repair or replace your windshield.
Despite this, its always a good idea to talk to your car insurance company as insurers vary in their stance on auto glass repairs. - 21392
