Just curious to know how many of you have replaced your windsheild due to rocks coming off the road and cracking the S*#$!!! out of your window? I personally have had to replace my 3 times already with all this road construction that is going on in atlanta!!!

I've never replaced mine. My siter lives in CO and she said she's had to replace hers 3 times within the year because of the elevation levels.

Not sure if this applies to everyone, but Allstate full coverage has a 0 deductible on 1 windshield per year.

I just had my rear windshield done for free.

^ name any company in any department of any market, and someone will have had a bad experience with them.

I've replaced my windshield once; had a chip in it. It wasn't spreading, but it was annoying me and the fix was cheap.

you could probably bargin down to $170 installed for a windshield. i do auto glass in the whole south cal, i probably shouldnt say this but just for you guys, the installers are getting these glasses for around 40-70 bucks. and they would wanna make atleast $100 from you.

My first busted windshield was scary as f*ck; a gravel truck tossed a rock completely thru my windshield, it hit the passenger seatback (which thankfully was unoccupied at the time), and landed in the passenger seat bottom. I had only been back from Iraq for a few months, and at first I thought for sure that someone was shooting at me, lol.

Second time it was much more mundane; a chip that started to crack and just kept getting bigger.
