The "SoundScreen" option on Carlite glass (found in F-150s) makes a surprisingly large difference to in-cabin noise.
I replaced an OEM soundscreen on an F150 with the cheapest thing 5-Star auto had, and I was really shocked at the change in highway noise on the vehicle.
I'd be curious, Masked Bandit, does glass coverage take into consideration these type of options (SoundScreen is typically something that only appears on higher trim models), or is more of a "glass is glass is glass" argument?
Right out of the gate, glass is glass is glass is what an adjuster would proceed on but if you as the customer could show that your windshield had a special factory feature like this SoundScreen then I'm guessing you could have that covered.
