A happy little rock smacked my windshield last night and left about a 7" spider crack. It impacted so hard that at the focal point i can feel it from the inside.

Can something like this get repaired? or should the windshield be replaced? How much $$ should i be prepared to spend? can you find used windshields at a junkyard?

 

You will have to replace the whole windshield.

Call a local auto glass repair shop, it shouldnt cost more then a hundred dollars for everything

 

Replace it.

 

I bought one from a junkyard for $50 and had a friend put it in for like $30

 

uh thanks, its a little obvious now that i already got a better response.

my friend from work has class with a kid who works in an auto glass shop so ive potentially got a line on a repair.

 

get lexan while your glass is out!

 

Is it even legal get a a lexan windsheild? I swear it's illegal...

 

very illegal

 

I thought so!

 

i found $215 installed with new glass, there's one other place i want to check but im fine with that

 

That's kind of high, I found new glass for an S14 @ about $170 installed wherever you are

 

what company was that from?

 

good question, this was about 3 months ago when I was looking around gathering prices... if I remember I'll post it

 

A new window for my moms old car(Sable)cost 85 dollars, brand new including everything. Then again this was 4 or so years ago...

 

the other place i wanted to check is going to charge me $190 and they come to me
