Well I busted my front windshield this past weekend. A large rock from a vehicle in front of me smacked my windshield on the drivers side. I was VERY upset to say the least. It ended up costing me 450$ by not going thru Allstate. If I used Allstate the company would have charged them 560$. My deductable is 500$.Everybody is getting taken. The insurance company gets over priced and the cost is pasted along to the public. By the way I contacted the Hummer dealer here in Dublin Ohio and used their auto glass company. Great job.

That sucks, but don't feel to bad. I am on my third winshield in 4 months. But your getting ripped off. Are you getting yours done by the stealership? I pay under $300 installed each time. Same glass as factory issued.

I realized a cracked windshield is simply the cost of owning and H2. Because of the vertical-ness you can't avoid it. I got a chip after the 2nd month and have $500 set aside for the inevitable expanding crack. In the end it's worth it.

I have 3 chips in my windshield. I just take it to the windshield repair place. They have never charged me, and it makes the chips "near" invisible, and at the very least stops them from spreading.
I figure after the 6 chip I'll get a new windshield.

In Florida all windshields are covered by insurance with no deductable and they cannot cancel or raise your insurance for two years because of a windshield claim.

Here is a link to my pics of a replacement.

Liberty Mutual sent someone out to try and fix it at NO cost. They couldn't because the crack went to the edge. I think I paid about $50 bucks, maybe $100
Someone is over paying on your windshield.

Like Detonate said, just get the chip repaired. I've used the DIY kits you get at WalMart and it works fine. I had a bullseye the size of a nickel on my jeep and it's barely noticeable now.

On my way to work I got a nasty rock from a big rig, it landed right in my line of vision and was huge. I have a friend who works at an auto glass place and she only charged me $250 (my deductable is $500). Exactly 1 week later I got another chip in almost the same place, they repaired it for free. Then on a trip to Reno my hubby got another chip, this one isn't that bad. Man does it make a loud sound when rocks hit. You would think that the rock was going to fly right through the windsheild.

Went through 2 windshields in a month,both from rocks kicking up on the highway. But, as the same as Hummer man, my insurance covered it fully with no deductable or raise in insurance. I guess I'm lucky!!

OU, Deadwood is pretty sweet, huh. It seems there are a few of us on this forum that like the show.
