My windshield deductible is $250. The issue isn’t the cost, the issue I’m tired of the downtime of this car and this car is known to have easily breakable windshield. The other issue is that to replace the windshield, they also have to replace the once time use window garnishes that surround the windshield, which is suppose to be color coded to the rest of your car. The problem is that if I keep replacing the windshield, the color these garnishes wlll be slightly off from the rest of the car which has slightly faded over the years. First world problem…
It’s actually quite pricey for the insurance to replace the windshield for me. The windshield and labor is about $400. But on top of that, they have to pay $300 for the color coded trim pieces that surround the windshield. And those trim pieces were covered with Xpel clear bra, and to have them redone ala carte, the company that did it wants $250 for that too. So insurance is going to be forking over $700 each time I need a new windshield with the $250 deductible I have. I probably need a windshield once every 2.5 years.
