Replacement windshield
 

Well got wacked by a rock first time happens truck had rock falling I tried to get out the way got me on the side.. never had that in my frs.. now my brz ts got a nice rock wack looks like needs replacing...

Going through insurance first time idk 😐 I'm I going to pay out of my pocket?

Thanks

Depends on your insurance. If you have comprehensive, sometimes there is no deductible on glass. In any case, a new windshield, as repairs go, is a relatively cheap repair even if you have to do it out of pocket.

Yeah just got quotes 380 out my pocket.. I think my neighbor does windshield I see his truck carry them I forgot.. ill ask him but I'm sure they will be about all the same prices... glad this car don't have them fancy iSights because I heard thats a pain to replace as moslty needs to be done at dealer because they need to line up the cameras with special alignment machine or something

Sucks man, I always have this fear. I try to avoid being behind trucks as much as possible, but it happens once in a while. Almost had this situation when one merged off an exit and a rock came flying into my windshield. Real loud noise, but it looked more like it made a little crusty chip in the glass, but no crack - got lucky. I cringe every time I'm behind trucks and all I hear is my paint taking tons of rock chips :cry:

Yeah I'm normally looking ahead Whats in front of me and slow down in the slow lane and let trucks get away from me.. this my second time getting wacked .. was in my interga that one was dead center and sounded like a gun shot .

Just going to replace it out my pocket.. same thing from insurance... oh well all good... thank for in put guys.. happens just need to try avoid things like this but that's how it goes sometimes.. im always careful all the time too but that's how it goes ....

Well heat here in California made it go even farther 😑 kinda knew that was going to happen.. I cover the car and mark a black tape and hours later it's way out.. its going to go through the whole end ..

Yea, I'd check with insurance first, they may cover it but may require you use "their guy" (most use Safelite in the US)

yeah safelite ... they said like 380 from my insurance but when i go to safelite out my own pocket its about the same cost...

saw vids of replacement on this cars and its pretty quick and simple too.. glad it dont have no fancy camera driving aid and all that stuff that most cars have now days ... looks like they are busy for the next week or 2...

hopefully this windshield wont collapse when i drive it like that for now :iono: lol doubt it will

Saw this.. maybe I'll get 🤔 I'm sure it's all same up to 2020?

I'll have my neighbor install it as he does windshield replacements and repairs

should probably talk to your neighbor about that plan first. sometimes used parts cost more to install because they need more prep.

btw any idea if our cars have wires for defroster for front windshield ? im assuming not? it just uses the hot air from vents

I just went through the same thing. The $439 glass is probably not OEM Subaru glass. I ended up requesting OEM from Safelite and using my insurance. It was something like $850 for the OEM glass.

yeah my local subaru has new oem for like 680 and said a rubber seal gasket was like 80.... so your total was about 850 installed with safelite?

ill have my neighbor install mine ill buy it from subaru and pick it up
