My insurance company will only handle a repair free of charge but a replacement is under the deductable ($1000 for me) so it is out of my pocket. I have called all over this area for quotes and the cheapest I can find is about $300.

I had to look around a bit before I found that rate. And that is with OEM glass too.

DO NOT get non-OEM glass

OEM or nothing when it comes to glass

Believe me, I have experience with this

Since I'm in this thread, Brandon.
Where did you get your glass replaced?
Mine is getting to that point from all the cinder over the years.

Throwing rocks at your own windshield doesn't qualify...

Actually, counts quite well

Happy B-day to me....

Full glass coverage would make it equal zero, or at least it does in NYS
I have full glass coverage, zero deductable...
My S is on it's second window, and the CRX-Si gets another new one this summer.

I added that to my policy. It will cost me about 8 bucks more per month but is worth it

If you pay $8/mo, that's $96 a year - how often do you replace your windshield?

I just replaced the windshield on my Rabbit after driving for less than 2 yrs. Driving on the I-5 is no fun. There are lots of semi truck and windshield can be easily chipped.
