Windshield Damage

[Captain Zach]

I haven't seen anyone talking about this on the forum yet, so I thought I would start it off. It was a beautiful day in Northern California today. I had plastidipped my emblems this morning(which look bad ass against the Guard Metallic) and I was going to a friends house to show him the finished product as well as go look at a 2004 Mystichrome Cobra he is interested in. On my way back home I was driving through a section of highway that has a lot of construction going on, and as I was driving along I see a lag screw or bolt get kicked up by the car ahead of me. There was no avoiding it and it hit my windshield dead center. Now I have a quarter sized crack with a few wings running off of it already. Now I'm faced with the decision of seeing if I can get it filled or replacing the windshield. I've had a couple chips filled on my truck before, but this seems to be a little bit more of a substantial impact compared to those. In the end I guess I'll have to look at it like Forrest Gump would and just say "it happens".

Nobody will fix this crack if he knows his business. The windshield has do be replaced.

Replace it

Its no biggie for the experts

ANd deductibles are much different for windshield repair
Often $0

Make sure they use a good quality replacement. I had a Murano screen replaced a few years back and I could see even before I got in the car that the new screen had 'ripples' in it.

Make sure they use oem glass which has a pony ion the center upper screen.

+ 1 for OEM but the new '15's have the FORD logo up there not the Pony...:thumbdown:

Sorry to hear this. I had this happen on my previous 2010. There was a small divot with some spider cracks both inside and outside in the lower passenger side. Safelite repaired it, took away about 70% of the noticeable wound, then I covered it up with an Mustang Club of America window sticker. Just before I traded, after having this repair for 3 1/2 years, I noticed the small inside cracks had spread. I wound up getting the windshield replaced.

REPLACE - - About a month after i bought my 2001, my windshield was cracked, 100% covered by insurance and yes make sure you require OEM Glass!
