Windshield Help!
Hey, guys, I went for a big canyon run and got sprayed with rocks and sand. My windshield looks like trash rn and I wanted to know what you track and canyon guys do about this issue. Its really bugging me and I would prefer not to replace the entire windshield and have the same issue happen again.
Can I have a pro sand out my windshield? Should I try insurance? Should I just replace the entire thing? (no picture at this time unfortunately today in the morning the sun hitting it looked absolutely horrible) |

I saw on Facebook there was a cheap like $30 weather liner that will replace my old and dried weather liner. |

if you have a few chips that you want to control i've had very good success with http://richardsonswindshieldrepair.com
you can also ask them if they have any ideas for whole windshield surface repairs. full replacement is always easiest tho! |

After seeing this thread I filed a claim for rock chipped windshield yesterday. Was scheduled with safelight this morning at 8am. Had my car back my 10am with a new windshield covered 100% by insurance with no deductible.

Who do you go through with insurance? I went through AAA and they told me they would only cover it if it was in an accident or if I just came out to my car window and there was damage. Also called Safeflight they told me I would need to contact AAA if I want it covered, quoted me $300.

Answering my own question:
The climate comfort windscreen uses a layer of special reflective material to reflect certain wavelengths of sunlight: infrared radiation, which is responsible for increasing temperature, is not allowed to enter the cabin, while a high level of natural light is able to pass through it.Mar 4, 2017 |

I have recently been trying to find out whether my insurance (Wawanesa) would cover a windshield replacement with no money out of pocket.
From what I've read, windshield coverage varies state to state and California is not one that waives windshield repair/replacement fees. |
