the nissan/infiniti glass sucks - it cracks way too easily, and way too often.

I have aftermarket (PPG) and it's perfect, no issues with wipers or anything.

 

nissan's glass and paint are both below par. i wish that they would imrpove this for their infiniti products.

 

I had a truck drop some rock one of which cracked my windshield and I got his information. I called and they told me that it was not possible because he wasn't hauling stone that day But I guess it's worth a shot.

 

We have State Farm and they put glass under the Comprehensive portion of the insurance. Our deductible is $500. It cost me $280 to replace my windshield with GlassMasters a few months ago. I called about lowering our deductible on the Comprehensive and they said it would raise our insurance about $200 a year - not really worth it IMHO. Good luck either way. No you shouldn't follow close behind a semi but sometimes you do need to pass one.

 

how much is aftermarket glass...??

 

HUH?????? Are they ripping you a new hole in your a$$? Trust me...I've had my windshield replace for $175. Call these people. They're nationwide and will come to your workplace. http://www.safelite.com Some people...

 

I used them and that is not the price for a coupe. Even online quotes are not close to that price?

So you are either lying to make yourself feel better or not telling the whole truth.

 

sorry to hear

 

ouch... i got a chip like a week after i got mine... i thought that was bad... ahaha something to keep in mind: dont EVER drive behind a truck

 

[QUOTE=smokedhen]whats a semi? a pickup?[/QUOTE

An 18 wheeler

 

I disagree. I lost my screen at less than 1000 miles at which point it had two chips, one of which "grew" when the weather suddenly warmed up. The dealer wanted $900 installed. My deductible is $500.

I went for a $300 aftermarket screen. 6500 miles later it has been hit many times but has no pits, stars or cracks, and the wipers don't give a ****. They work fine.

Btw, it's not just about the quality of the screen but the stresses in it once it is installed.

 

Why would I care to make myself feel better infront of people I don't know? So either Safelite made the mistake by undercharging the complete setup or the windshield magically appeared during the day. How much were they charging to fix it? They quote me $15. Am I trying to make myself feel better again mister know it all?

 

thanks for all the advice. i will not be going to an infiniti dealer to get my windshield replaced. in fact, the head mechanic at the dealer here in town recommended a couple auto glass shops. if my insurance doesn't cover it, i'll throw a tissy fit, because there's a reason i wanted a $100 deductible on comprehensive. best case scenario my insurance picks up the whole tab.

maybe while she's at the glass shop i'll get some nice tints put on too... ideas ideas

also thinking about buying borla exhaust this winter while the g is camped in the garage. maybe coilovers too.

 

wounder if u can put some kind like clear bra on the windshield...
