Barely had my Z for a week and got a nice crack on the windshield already from a rock. Anyone know how much this is gonna cost me? Not sure if my insurance covers windshields.

 

Your insurance will and should cover it, check how much your deductible is, usually $100. OEM glass cost around $900-$1000.

 

Unless you have Full glass coverage, It's not covered.. I had my windsheild replaced a few months ago after finding a big crack. I was sent to a PPG replacement shop the next day, and they did the replacement in about 1 1/2 hours.. It's an exact replacement.. I saw the bill to my insurance company and it was $345.. I have full replacement glass coverage with ZERO deducatble.. It didn't cost a dime out of my pocket.. Don't pay list from a Nissan dealer.. It's not worth it..

it's around $250~

 

that sucks man not to make you mad or anything but i got my toyotas windsheild replaced with the OEM glass and its not the same. No leaks or anything but alot more windnoise no clue why.

 

I got mine replaced with OEM glass and it turned out great, no windnoise or leaks.

 

maybe mine wasnt done right!!! DAMMIT

 

BoostTed- had the exact same thing happen to me. Car was 4 days old and got pinged- instant 4" crack. I was planning on replacing with OEM glass but was quoted $956 for new windshield and labor.
Hesitated over replacing with non-OEM but eventually took it to a local glass repair shop. They replaced the windshield with PPG and I can't tell a difference. The PPG windshield is identical to the OEM, even comes with the rear view mirror bracket premounted. Total cost: $280 out the door.

 

that place wouldnt happen to be in so cali would it?

 

Sorry- San Jose area. However most auto glass shops should have access to PPG windshield.

 

san jose huh, not too bad if its a lot cheaper vs the placed down here. Hell im up there a lot anyway. Im actaully going up there again this weekend.

 

Looks like I'm gonna have to replace mine too...
What happens to the registration and inspection stickers when they replace the glass? In Texas, the damn things are slit so that you can't remove them without the sticker coming apart in pieces. Since it's a new car, the inspection sticker is good into 2006... I'd hate to lose that.

 

i paid 150

 

Hey failsafe. do you happen to have the info for that place you went to get your glass replaced.

If you think that is bad..
second day after i purchased the Z i got a rock chip.. Soooo frustrating.
also failsafe.. is your new glass just as weak as the oem one was?

 

i got mine for around 400$ non oem but it looks exactly the same with the little dots behind the mirror. after they installed it there was wind noise but they resealed it and its been great ever since. they came to cerritos nissan bodyshop and did it there, so i dont know exactly where theyre located.

 

Hey bring it by...

We can get you an OEM windshield or aftermarket...

Only difference is the Aftermarket does not have your VIN etched in it, (but we can do that for you too)...
