Honda Car Forum

Just discovered my wife's car has a crack running from the passenger side
top edge, to what looks like a rock impact point.. then from there it's
making a run for the passenger side edge of the windshield...

go figure that the car that has the crack is the one with only liability
insurance on it (it's '91 with almost 165k miles on it.. and a second car..
if it goes, it goes.. we'll move on)

i've seen the DIY repair kits for these things.. any opinions on which are
the best? and where to find them?

Just pay $300 and get a new windshield, cheapskate!





How to turn off 'Maintenance Required" light:

1. Hold trip/reset button on dash
2. Turn key to "ON" or start engine
3. Hold button til light goes out

Good call. Barring that, check out http://www.windshieldrepair.com/

Windshields are actually structural. Be safe and get it replaced

If you feel you can replace it with something similar for that price without
a cracked windshield, do it.

$450? Even a '90 Accord with 200K miles sells for $2500 here. But one with a
cracked windshield probably won't fetch over $1000.

Ok, I stand corrected my car would (according to edmunds.com) go for $957
through a private party transaction..

KBB.com places it at $2085... Not bad considering I paid $3000 for it 3
years ago... I guess. Alls I know is it gets my wife from home to work
which is something like 2 miles.

Also, the DIY kits (to repair) are not recommended for such a long running
crack. I have replaced windshields in older cars myself... but these newer
ones where there are glued in... that seems a bit more touchy. I wouldn't
want it to come flying out or something!

And one with a cracked windshield won't pass inspection here (NJ).
