  • Windshield cracked...replacement help?

    94 maro.

    stone came up from trucker and smacked the middle of my windshield at 70mph and put a huge shatter mark and cracks all around it.

    question on obtaining another windshield, just go to a junkyard???

    removal and installation procedure?

    never done a windshield ever, thanks.

    For safety's sake, I'd leave it to a professional if you have no experience.

      I'm with him ^^^^ plus you got leak issues. Depending on your state it may even be covered free of deductible by insurance. In KY it is. If not it will be like 250 ish

        That's correct, it might be covered free but watch out for this. I got my windshield replaced by the insurance free, come to find out they put it on my record as an accident. It didn't raise my insurance any but it's like a dropped charge it still shows up when researched. That flat out pissed me off because I've never gotten in any kind of accident.

          It's on my report as a no fault claim or something like that.

            There is a mobile company in NJ called Safelight Auto Glass. You call them and order the windshield and they install it in your driveway w/ a couple of guys. They did my Cavalier in like 15 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes. The Camaro would probably take 5 minutes longer cuz it's bigger. (It cost me $260 or so for the Cav windshield.)

            Here's what you do: call your insurance company and see if it's covered under your insurance. If not, ask them who they recommend. They will give you their number or a company that is similar. Then go from there.

              i have found a local place on Craigslist and said they could do my windshield for $180 installed. What are the differences between windshields?

                Yeah, my insurance covered it, and I didn't have to pay the deductable.

                When they take the old glass out, tell them to take a smoke break or something, and clean your dash. At that point in time, you will have the best chance ever to clean, and throw some Armoral on it.
