Seth,
Yeah, by the time you added in tax & disposal it was $599.90 with a $40 discount for booking on-line. My comprehensive deductible is $500, so it's a choice of filing a claim for $100 or not, and I chose to not have the claim on my insurance.

Here in Mass. windshield is covered 100%, no matter what policy you hold. FWIW...


and, "Yesterday I found a wheel & tire place in California that had a couple of sets of Cragar's 50th Anniversary 1965-2015 center caps so I decided the coupe needed them!" How about a picture (when you've a chance)… tia

Here they pay 100% if you have a chip or crack repaired, but chips/cracks at the edge can't be done with the epoxy injection, and the crack can't be over 6" long. Basically if you have a chip & crack that can be covered with a dollar bill it's a free fix. Replacement falls under comprehensive coverage.

Caps are ordered, not yet here. The website image:

3:00pm - I'm just back from SafeLite and as the guy's getting out of the truck he says, "We got it all in, no problem but as we did the final cleanup we found a scratch that we couldn't see under the inside lights....." Right in the field of view on the passenger side, about 1.25" long and you can feel it with a fingernail. Sure enough when I pulled into the garage it disappeared. They offered to discount the price if I wanted to just go with it but the truck's only got 35000 miles and not a scratch on it so settling for a scratched windshield doesn't make sense. Got to let the urethane cure for a week, so next Friday they're coming to the house with a new piece of glass, their ticket. On a good note, another shop had quoted $150 extra if I wanted to keep the FORD oval logo in the shading above the mirror mount, and the SafeLite has it, just like factory glass! I was happy to see that, even with the scratch!
