TD said:Why would it cost you anything?
We had to replace the windshield on my wife's E36 a few months back after a large rock hit it and a crack spanned the width of the windshield within hours.
Our insurance (State Farm) put us in touch with a glass company that came out to our house and replaced the windshield with OEM BMW glass the next day.
No charge, no deductible, totally free.

I think I have a $250 deductible. Not 100% certain, I remember the last time we renewed the policy the difference was like $5 a month so I took it off, but it's been so long my memory is a bit hazy...It could have been my folk's policy that I reduced to $0 deductible.

What TD means is that some insurance companies have a glass replacement policy. They'll replace(or repair) the windshield to prevent higher costs down the line - without you having to pay a dime. You can remove this covarage though to save money. I'd check and see if your policy covers glass before you spend any money :thumb:
The HACK said:Thanks guys. I'll call my insurance agent (have to find out her name first from my wife...Can't remember it off the top of my head. And no, the name on the insurance card isn't hers) and find out if they indeed have that coverage. I have State Farm as well so TD's incident is definately re-assuring.

SteelGray02ci said:Sorry to hear about your windshield. I had a rock nail me a couple of weeks ago so I had to replace mine as well. The local dealer here replaced the windshield at a cost of a little more than $800.Luckily, my deductible is only $100. It had to stay overnight to let the glue set, but it was ready for me to pick up the next morning. No hassles, and it looks perfect.
Good luck!

BTW, the windshield thing should go under your comprehensive, which is usually less than collsion. If you have your comp at 500, after this little thing with the glass. I would DEF. change that to a ZERO deduc..![]()
