It happened last friday when I was on 95N. I was listening to music and I heard a loud noise. I knew a rock hit my windshield. I got to my friend's house and there it was a small crack on the driver side windshield(close to the edge) My question is should I bother having it replaced? and how much would you think this will cost?
I was told if you can cover the crack with a dollar bill they should be able to repair it. I've got Geico ins and they covered three chips/cracks my son received in I264 one morning; no ded, and free of charge.

it claims to work on chips, not cracks, but the chemical will flow in the seam and has always worked for me. when you are done and pull the syringe off there will be residual glue....you cut it off with the razor blade at a sharp angle...like you are almost parralel with the glass- don't cut yourself.

I haven't done it yet cuz its been 30's lately. I'm going to call the insurance to see if they will cover it. But if not Im going to do it myself or have it professionally fixed.



Use the search.... Ins. should cover for free!
