Windsheild Replacement
I’ve been meaning to price this. Just in general, it’s nice to know but, obviously it all depends on make and model. The one thing I did hear through the grapevine was that your insurance will pay for it.

A windshield replacement averages approximately $250-$500. GEICO will allow a repair at no cost to the policyholder, as long as they have comprehensive coverage. [[url=http://www.geico.com/auto/claims/glass_windshield.htm]web site[/url]][/quote]

If both of the following conditions apply, you pay no deductible to have your windshield repaired:
1. You have Comprehensive coverage and have windshield damage that your policy covers.
2. Your windshield can be repaired safely rather than replaced. [[url=http://claims.progressive.com/claim_glass.aspx]web site[/url]][/quote]
So, it looks like I heard correctly. I don’t think I have Comprehensive though.
Geico doesn’t pay to replace it unless you smash it when you crash or something. Road debri that cracks it beyond the point of repair (once there is a crack) you have to pay for yourself completely. Since the miata is so low it has cracked twice with cops and trucks driving on the shoulders throwing rocks back at my windshield.
