I got out from work and discovered a big fricking crack in my windshield that wasn't there when I parked it this morning. There's no impact/shatter point, so it seems the glass just failed on its own. Any ideas if this would be covered under the warranty, or if not what a reasonable price to get it replace would be?

 

if there are no apparent cracks from rocks or something else then i would take it into the dealership and tell them to have a look at it and say that it just cracked during work and tell them the story, maybe brush it up a bit to make it sound good!

 

if theres no sign of impact its a manufacturers defect this happened on my late xterra and the dealership replaced it

 

Nice. I'm bringing it in to the dealership in a couple days for them to look at... hopefully they have the same philosophy.

 

yeah good luck with that, let us know how it goes!

 

Just got back... turned out there was about a 1mm rock chip that started it... I hadn't even seen it. What a rip-off. If my windshield's gonna break cause of a rock, I at least want a big one.

 

Well...I feel your pain. I had a rock hit mine on the interstate and before I had a chance to get to a Wal-Mart to get the windshield repair kit, I had a crack a foot long.

Anyway, going through Safelite, it cost $578 to replace the windshield....so my insurance deductible was lower than that and I filed a claim.

 

The dealership quoted me $525, but recommended a 3rd party I could get it from for about $100-150 less (All Star Glass in SoCal area). So I'll get quotes a couple places and see.

 

well damn that really sucks man. good luck trying to find some good quote prices

 

Yeah, yesterday was not a good day... coming home I tore a hole in one of my tires. Dang it!
