Here’s a gift for my windshield, courtesy of a rock, a pickup, and a highway

Looks repairable at least. May as well do it now before it spreads (often insurance waives the deductible for windshield repair ).

I got smacked a couple days ago by some metal part off a dead Civiv on a flatbed, but it looks like I lucked out, don’t see any hood or windshield damage.

There seems to be damage under the surdace a bit. If it can be repaired I probably will and replace it later, as it’s always obvious a repair was done at least from what I’ve seen

I feel you. Two days after having to get the windshield in my truck replaced due to a chunk of metal kicked up from the highway I spotted a pinhole in the windshield of my Volt.

My windshield on the Taco looks like a battlefield after 86k miles.

Seems what hit me was some sort of razor blade (happened fast, only in a few frames):

Sooner is better, they can do pretty good with the repairs. I’ve had two done on our new Pacifica, thanks Michigan winters. I tried repairing one myself on my other car and it eventually spiders. So now I just go straight to the window shop. Less than $50, and they will apply the repair towards a new windshield if necessary.
