Most insurance companies will offer a zero dollar deductible windshield
replacement rider on your comprehensive coverage. You have to ask for it
and what it costs. I have gone thru 8 windshields in 5 years and was
threatened by my insurance company of having the coverage dropped (USAA of
San Antonio TX). I insisted that a privately owned glass shop install a
Honda OEM windshield once and that one did not last any longer than the
national chain shop installs. I have windshields last anywhere from 1 hour
to 10 years. They will crack 24 7 and 12 months a year. Stay away from
salt spreaders and snow plows. Once a crack forms, do not turn on the
defroster. If you want anymore info email me privately.
