Nothing to joke about - afterall, it is glass.

There are ways to repair it, but given the cost (which could run as much as a new windshield installed) and the fact that it's not something rare, I'd replace it.

I don't have any shop to recommend, but you may want to call your insurance company and see if they have any recommended places. Heck, your insurance may even have covered the glass with little or no deductible. It doesn't hurt to ask.

-- Kane ... of couse, if you have one of 'em half-assed insurance companies, then all bets are off.

I know the owner of Inland Auto Glass. It's based in Hemet but mobile. I'd trust them with any of my cars and he has great prices. 951-925-7043 That should be the number.

**ManaSteel** · 03-24-2005, 05:41 PM

well lemme know guys. It also would depend on where the place is.
