New Guy Weekly Cracked Windshieldl: The Best Practices for Keeping Your Car Windows in Good Shape



Depending on the aircraft type, the manufacturer will provide a checklist in the quick reference handbook (QRH) as to how to deal with a cracked windscreen. On the 787, it's a fairly straightforward procedure that involves removing the electrical power to the window heating system. Once this has been done, we then need to assess the damage to the windshield.


You just brought home your new vehicle. It's perfect in every conceivable way. However, within just days of owning it, the windshield is cracked, chipped, or another defect related to the glass presents itself. Obviously, the car is defective, and your warranty will pay for the repairs. Guess again.




New Guy Weekly Cracked Windshieldl




Is Your Windshield Defective?As far as we know, there is no relationship between a chip occurring and the age of a windshield. However, the likelihood that a new vehicle owner will throw up a post about damaged glass sure is. One we saw this afternoon was the inspiration for this story. It read, "Anybody notice that the glass is soft on the car? I got 2 small chips in the past 2 weeks." So I searched inside a number of groups in which I participate to see if the keywords "Windshield, chip, crack" result in a lot of activity. It's not just a lot, it's an avalanche of posts. Here is a quick rundown on some we found that seem to apply:- My Model 3 is going in next week to replace a cracked windshield. $1,300.- Our Honda Clarity had a tiny tiny chip near the top of the windshield in front of the driver, which has extended into a crack to the edge. I don't recall any kind of impact.- Anyone else notice their Prius windshield is a chip magnet? I have 2 obvious chip already after 18 months.- My 124 Spider's windshield just cracked! Safelite says just the parts are $1600 for the molding and brackets.- I was parked and my Colorado ZR2's windshield crack right in my face... no rocks smashed my windshield.


Some states have laws regarding windshield deductibles, as well. In Arizona, Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina, insurers are required to offer windshield replacement without a deductible, so drivers in these states don't have to pay to have their cracked windshields repaired or replaced. However, that may not apply to side or rear windows.


You woke up this morning, went to your car in the garage to go to work, and discovered that your windshield cracked for no reason. Or maybe you discovered your windshield cracked when you came out of a restaurant after a business dinner. You know nothing happened to it while you were inside.


Law enforcement officers in Florida can justify a traffic stop if they observe the motorist driving while their vehicle has some sort of unsafe condition. But does just a cracked windshield give officers the right to pull you over? How about the right to search your car? In this blog post, we will explore the legal implications of a cracked windshield, but with statutes and the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution in mind.


There are two main types of car insurance, commonly known as minimum coverage and full coverage car insurance. Minimum coverage car insurance is the base amount of coverage that is legally required in your state to operate a vehicle. That said, states do not require optional coverage types like comprehensive and collision coverage. Therefore, if your windshield cracked because of a rock hitting it while driving on the highway, comprehensive coverage would not be available to help cover the repairs unless you purchased it as an add-on.


Collision insurance pays for your vehicle losses and repairs that were caused during a crash. If your windshield is cracked after you rear-end another vehicle or drive into a pole, collision insurance will likely cover the windshield damage minus the deductible amount you chose for this coverage.


Couldn't ask for a better establishment! I been driving around with a cracked windshield for longer than I should have. Finally had am off day and dropped them off my car. I was running late to pick up the car and they were very accommodating. Some places would make you wait until next day. Reasonable straightforward prices. They have gained a customer for life.
