Default Rock owned by 350z :(

So i was driving on the 15 at about 90mph when I hear a huge popping sound. I look around and see nothing and then I noticed my windshield has a bullet sized crack in it. I realized a rock had just impaled itself on my window.

15 minutes after it happens I get out and see it is already starting to spread. Anyone know a cheap place to replace the front glass? Should I go to a dealership?

Thanks!

If you have full coverage under insurance, this should be covered.

Comprehensive + Collision and Glass

If you want to get raped go to the stealership.

There are several companies that can go to your house and replace it on the spot and they aren't that expensive either. Check with your insurance first though like Silver said.

BTW, shouldn't your title read "350z owned by rock"

WCN quoted me $940 just for the part :-(

I have full coverage and my deduct is only $250, so I am definitely doing that.

If you can recommend anyone to replace, I would appreciate it.

Pics of the impaled rock? ...must be pretty good size to impale your windshield.

I had to have mine replaced. Called some local places and got the usual question if my insurance was paying. Once they found out it was going to be paid out of my pocket the price was $186 installed.

They came to my work and did it in the parking garage and I never was without my car. No leaks and the only issue is my mirror did not hold so I put it back on myself and it is fine.

Yeah. OP you really.. should get more involved in understanding auto insurance .. for example, with state farm insurance... you can add glass coverage with no deductible for an extra $9 a month... and in Colorado... thats a must.
