Check with your insurance company. A glass loss is not considered chargeable and will not affect your rates. If it turns out the damage is less than your deductible they can still help you out by referring you to the glass company that will save you the most. The insurance companies know the glass businesses very well.

When the dump truck is in front of you no matter how far ahead you still catch up to its debris which can be kicked up by other vehicles!!

Any updates? The same thing happened to my windshield. Was driving on the highway, out of sudden I hear a loud high pitch hit that scared the sh*t out of me. A few minutes later, a huge crack begings to appear and slowly increased in length.

Now it's almost half the windshield and in my line of vision.

I haven't done it yet. Been lazy and the crack stopped half way across the windshield. Probably going to do it soon since it's pay day. In fact, I can call tomorrow and see.

I know a lot of people are telling you that insurance will just cover it, but I went ahead and looked it up for your area, and apparently there are no waivers for your deductible in NC.

Wish I could help more than that, but when my Protege5 windshield broke (TWICE in six months) it was covered here, so I never even saw what it would've cost.

So the best thing to do is move to SC, get your insurance, get your windshield covered, and then move back to NC. :D

Our windshields seem to be brittle. Lightweight must be thin!

Yeah, I figured as much. Plus I looked up my policy and it talks about my deductible, so that's why I haven't really been in a hurry to fix it.

I'm not saying the rear window would be covered the same as a front, but when we had a tornado here back in 2007, it knocked out the rear window on my Speed3 and tore up the shed. I had to pay out of pocket for the rear window. So I figured the front would be the same. I'll try again this week and call. I left the business card at home on Friday so I couldn't call while I was away.

I have two cracks on my windshield. Was thinking about getting them filled instead of a whole new windshield.
