windscreen

Hello all, I'm a newby to the club.<br>I have a question to you all, has anyone had or<br>heard of any problems with cracking or chipping<br>front windscreen.<br>I have a tribute limited V6 2000 klm old, a small<br>rock hit the screen and the next day it cracked.<br><br>Thanks.

I've heard of stone-chipped windshields and all, but not anything that cracked. Then again, I think an Escape owner (on the other club) mentioned this happening to her windshield. She had it replaced by an auto-glass shop.

We had a small rock hit our windshield just below the wiper and it made a small chip in the glass. We are waiting to see if it will turn into a crack.

You won't have to wait long!!<br>I had the same thing happen to me,a rock hit the base of the windshield.<br>Within 2 days time,the crack was halfway up the middle on the window and started going right, towards the passenger side of the my truck.<br>I found a place that came to MY house and replaced the windshield.<br>Cost me $260.00,this included installation.

If you get a chip or crack smaller than the size of a quarter, you can get them fixed. I have had two windshield chips fixed already that were paid for by my insurance company (Geico). They do a pretty good job- you can barely tell that there was a chip/crack and it prevents any growth of a crack. Key is to get it done right away before dirt gets in. Cost is about $45.
