Just going to put it in the hatch for now. It should fit with the front wheel off. Maybe I'll get a roof rack but that probably won't be till next spring.

TRUK TRUK TRUK is not an option.

I'm going to call them later today. Order placed on Saturday and they said it only takes a few days shipping. It should be there and assembled today.

Not sure if this is a something to concern myself with...

Front first, rear second. ImageImage
My rotors look exactly the same.

You stupid motherfuckers. Rip up a portion of 95 that has nothing wrong with it.

What do I do for glass? ImageImage

Fuck and you're having a hellofa day too.

You can either go cheap or OEM. Oem will cost 2-3x more than the cheap glass. I couldn't tell the difference with my $280 windshield.

Right before this happened I said to myself damn, I'm not taking this way home anymore. BAM. Rock chip.

Repairing it usually doesn't work right? It just slows the eventual expansion? My brother used Safelite on his MkV a few years back and it's been fine. He used their glass and not oem. I never really examined it though.

Well fuck. Remember I have those sensors on my rearview mirror too. My car luck with the last 2 has been horrendous.

Goddam man. Have you thought about just Up-Armoring a Crown Victoria and calling it a day?

Safelite Estimates

Repair - $129.95

Replace - $469.95. Wasn't given an option on the glass though. Maybe there is no aftermarket one yet?

That repair price is fucking ridiculous. Have you looked at your glass coverage on your policy. A lot of them cover repair for free with zero deductible?

That's what I was just about to do. Geico says glass is part of the comprehensive which I have a $500 deductible. Going to call them now for more details.

Right. I have USAA they have zero deductible repair......which makes sense for them....two of my winshields are HUD so I assume $1500ish.

Just got off the phone with them. It is zero deductible repair and they do use Safelite. I could have picked someone else but I don't know any glass repair places as I've never had one cracked. Safelite should be fine for a repair though. I'll be getting it fixed Thursday.

Holy shit. The kit to repair it yourself is like $20 from any auto parts store. Follow the instructions perfectly, and it'll turn out fine. JUST DO NOT WAIT because it WILL spread.

I've probably fixed 10 chips just like that in my life with fantastic results every time.

Drop it to $100 bucks and profit. Deer, PA roads, etc. It's not worth it to rock a high comp deductible, it's not expensive either.
Learned my lesson with that! :derp: comp deductible before my deer incident.

My neighbor worked for one of those glass repair tents at gas stations etc and they used to do a two step fix... 1.) Use a tiny application specific drill bit to stop the crack by drilling at its end points and he would do every crack line (no pun intended), 2.) Some clear polymer filler for the existing damage. I'm sure that I've seen these guise around recently so the option is still there.

Funny thing, I heard a loud smack on my windshield yesterday and saw what looked like white patches where the glass took a rock. Luckily I was going pretty slowly because of traffic conditions or this would be me too!
