Windshields, when are you planning on replacing yours?

[ddduke]

Just curious when everyone is planning on replacing their windshields?

Went to the carwash today and for some reason when I got back in the truck the windshield had 2 full length cracks and spidered in all 4 corners, so it's basically done.

Don't wanna wait too long to get it done, but definitely think it's a waste of money this early in the year. Thinking maybe right after may long.

You guys?

Mine is out of my field of vision in a really weird pattern, but it's been like that for about 3 years now. I might get around to it this summer, lol.

Not this year, just replaced 3 out of 4 windshields last year.

Oddly enough, I've never gotten a rock chip in the spring, even daily driving on deerfoot with tons of rocks. I always get them in the late summer, from construction vehicles that are covered in dried mud/rocks.

Way too many cracks in my windshield.. Getting it replaced in 2weeks or so

I just had mine replaced, couldn't wait any longer so many pits it make it impossible to drive into the sun

Gravel should be coming off all the roads soon, so I will probably replace mine in a couple of weeks.

I'm going to be replacing mine in about 3 weeks.

This. I was freaking blind yesterday driving downtown.

So where's an inexpensive place to get a windshield installed in town here?

Last summer, I replaced my windshield about 4 times in a period of 4 months or something...

It was horrible. On the last one, got smoked with a rock, and it started cracking, just said fuck it..

I'm waiting till the street cleaning is done, then I'll get her done...

Why did you replace it so many times? Were the fucked every time they got hit?

Just kept getting hit with shit... Metal nut bolts off landscaping trucks, HUGE rocks being shot of bridges above that I was going under...

I was on deerfoot, and a HUGE rock got shot out from the other side of traffic (coming towards me) and went right through the windshield...

I also had to replace my windshield wipers due to a huge rock hitting it and bending the metal to shit...

I remember once I was exiting off deerfoot north to get on glenmore and a HUGE rock came flying sideways and smoked my quarter panel on the drivers side, ripped a huge chunk of paint off and dented the metal...

Those 4 months or so were BAD luck. I think it was last summer maybe?

Real men drive without windshields

I'm doing mine in early-mid June.

If people are waiting for the roads to be cleared, I heard (rumor mill) that the city plans on having everything cleared by the end of July... That's a bit long, no?

Your windshield is pretty cracked up there man, and it is right in your line of vision. I wouldn't wait long at all, as it is frustrating to drive with that in the way all the time, as well as being a safety issue for both vision and in the event of a crash. (Although I doubt the windshield contributes as much structural integrity in crashes as the windshield repair shops claim)

Keep in mind that I think the crack resulted somehow from that one chip right near the middle of the +. Repairing something like that right away might have saved the glass. Too late now, but something for everyone to think about the next time we get a chip...

Anyone check out that windsheild insurance? I got a new window in setpember last year, and it's cracked right in the field of vision again. Will need replacement this month.
Expensive window too, since I've got the rain sensing wipers.

I'm going to replace mine when it falls out in my lap.

How much do yours usually cost?

I have the rainsense too, get my windshields replaced at Jack Carter and it's actually super cheap, and they always do a great job... I could be wrong, but I think it's either 200 bucks or 300 bucks...

^ or if it becomes to the point that it is inhibiting my driving vision, especially on my winter beater

Priced out the heated windshield for my Impreza and it was over $700. This car will go to it's grave with the original glass. My work truck is less than $200 installed.
