r/WindshieldRepair

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I was driving in the highway and a truck changed lanes to be in front of me. No problems with that, the driver had a clear distance and was driving at legal speed. The problem is that it lifted some rocks and one hit a the windshield causing a small chirp in the bottom. So I setup my appointment for fixing it next Tuesday and everything is OK. The fix was quoted around $180, which is OK. Today I checked the windshield and the crack now looks as shown in the picture. It went from a small chirp to this cracked line. Do I need to replace the windshield or can it be repaired? The main situation is that I’m planning to trade the car within 2 to 3 weeks, I’m waiting for the new one to arrive. I don’t want to spend on a new windshield when I’m not going to keep the car. Thanks for your advice.

Just purchased a used car this week and didn’t notice til I got home a chip on the passenger side of the windshield.

I called a mobile tech to fix it but he said it’s already been filled and he can’t re do it. (google says some techs with experience can maybe repair it)

As you can tell, it was horribly done.

It’s a pricey windshield to repair as it needs to be calibrated. Looking at 1200 for oem and calibration.

Can anyone refer me to some one who can fix this in the Ventura or LA County area?

Hello. Id like to ask for your input if this is OEM or aftermarket. Masyado kasi syang unclear and mas okay pa yung original than the replaced. For your input plsss
