CSK 911 C4S

Of all the times I've been tagged with rocks that literally made me jump at their impact this one barley made a sound and spidered my windshield.

Getting the insurance freebie fix Monday.

Maybe it had another crack you hadn't noticed and was ready to spider.

You doing the Poker Run?

At least this made me find out what my insurance covers.

Unfortunately - just learned the same with my Mercedes S65. Stone hit the window around construction area near Daytona. Fortunately to have zero deductible. . on glass.
Will need to re-calibrate technology though

Pic of spidered windshield? How bad is it?

CSK 911 C4S

It's on the drivers side at the 10 o'clock position from eye level.

Right now it's the size of a nickle.

Safelite is going to do their thing to stabilize it from cracking any further for $0.

I have a driving event this weekend in the North Ga mountains and would hate to hit a pothole and watch it grow.

That's not too bad, should be repairable at that stage.

Hey, good that it wasn't worse! It'll be nice if they can make that disappear. It seems to be raining rocks everywhere recently!

I'm currently at battle with Geico over their attempted payment for my replacement windshield a couple of weeks ago. Even though the glass repair shop (Safelite) asserts there was no aftermarket windshield that has a PDLS+ sensor port and a second Geico agent agreed that only OEM would work, the original agent on the claim will not agree even though she can't explicitly identify where the replacement windshield she priced had support for that sensor (only the rain one, the antenna, and the gray band). There's just no talking logic to some folks. There is almost a $600 difference in price, the total replacement cost was $1225 that I'm out of pocket for at this point.

So I just moments ago sent my last message to Geico doing everything the Texas Department of Insurance wants done before I file the official claim with them. Gah! Geico's rates are good, but their claims people can sure be bone-headed, which I guess helps explain the rates since I assume many people just roll over.

Hopefully you won't have to go there!

Took a fist size rock that fell out of a dump truck going the opposite way...our combined speeds had to have it hitting me at 60-80mph. Sounded like a shotgun inside my GT4 when it struck.

Shop removed the two layers of film and I had a divot in the glass the size of the ball on a ball point pen!

I would think a glass guy could patch that bullet with resin and maybe save you from getting a new windshield.

Let us know.

It's been a while since the last time I had a windshield fixed. The new process is pretty good and in my case pretty invisible .

The glass tech said I might be able to see it if the sun hits a certain way but it looked pretty good in the garage ..... time will tell.


Before:




After: I tried to take a good picture ...... but it's hard to focus on the little spec that's left even in micro mode.






Cool little vacuum machine:

New technology.

Pretty awesome.

I had a similar fix last Nov. that looked just as good. Just last week I noticed I was getting two small crack coming from the repaired spot, one moving up, and the other moving down. Both were about .5" long. I drove the car to work last week on a nice 80 degree day, came out to drive home and both cracks are now about 2-3" long. So six months later my beautiful "fix" didn't hold and I'm looking at having to replace the windshield..

Keep an eye on it....
