My car has a 10" crack that begins from the bottom passenger side and curves
toward the middle. Is this repairable and how much would it cost? Or should I
just replace it... will my insurance cover it?

A 10" crack is not repairable. If you have comprehensive insurance it
will cover the windshield replacement minus your deductible.

Many policies include an automatic or optional full glass coverage.
When my windshield was cracked by a flying stone, they replaced it
free. No deductible.

Having said that, I've seen quite a few ads from glass companies that
offer to pay your deductible.... overcharging the insurance companies,
I suppose.

Don't wait. The crack is likely to get worse as soon as it gets cold.

I guess I should just pay out of my own pockets since I have $1000 deductible.

I have a $1000 deductible so I hope I have glass coverage. I will call Monday
and find out.

You need to change insurance companies, my comprehensive
deductible is ZERO and the annual premium is only $160 per
auto. Perhaps you are thinking of your collision deductible?

What cars do you have, Matchboxes?

Seriously, which insurance Co.?

I believe he has Fords. They are the cheapest to insure because no thieves want
them.

It certainly costs more to insure imports, but they're worth it.... better than
driving shitty Fords.

I think it also depends on what state you live in. Here in Massachusetts, I
know that regular comprehensive insurance will cover the total cost of a new
windshield, you don't have to pay the deductible.
In fact, when I set up the policy on my current car, he offered me a $1000
deductible, just so I could get windshield replacements...unfortunately,
even that would've added about $200 to my policy, and I think new
windshields are about $300, so it wouldn't have been worth it, unless I
needed a new one every year.

you should know that windshield replacement is very competitive, and many
shops will lower prices just to get business.
