Balthazarr 06-19-2006, 02:20 AM You can probably claim the windshield on your comprehensive coverage.
Call your insurance company.
Also, before calling, search online for repairers.
Some, like Triumph glass will negotiate with your insurance company so the cost is low.
I think I paid $150 for a new windshield costing several times that.
SergeK 06-19-2006, 03:13 AM If you need any help with the M50 install let me know, i did it this past weekend and it was hell.
dough boi 06-19-2006, 03:45 AM Windshield's aren't terribly expensive, you can get them as low as $150 or so depending on what brand you buy. I replaced my RX-7 windshield for $165 for an aftermarket OEM quality windshield. Oh and that's really weird, I've never heard of that happening before.
yonoconozco 06-19-2006, 11:17 AM you probably had a crack on it already and putting pressure on it made it worse.
croberts12 06-19-2006, 11:34 AM its probably a sign from god. you should sell your car.
hnoppenberger 06-19-2006, 03:52 PM no no no! no pressure at all! i just started spraying the car down! as soon as the water hit it it went. like it was too hot and throwing cold water on it..
like ice cubes pouring hto water on them, thats how my windshield cracked. sounded sooo bad too! like bones breaking
oh and on the m50, thanks man, but ive got it, ive done like 3 or 4 of these installs the ghetto way, this is the first with a nice kit!
---may be a small crack it had but i notice stuff like that, im an anal case with my car... gonna see if my insurance covers it.
El Kabong 06-19-2006, 04:00 PM Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing. I had an old Jetta, and one morning I turned on the rear defroster, and it blew out the back windshield. I almost had to go change pants. All I can think was there was some tiny little crack that I couldn't see.
themadhatter 06-20-2006, 01:26 AM I just threw on a ppg windshield on my 325i for $250. they aren't that expensive and a new windshield is probably a good idea if yours was really pitted.
awahl63 06-20-2006, 05:26 PM lol...good luck with the M50 install and getting a new windshield
Landerholm 06-25-2006, 03:38 PM Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing. I had an old Jetta, and one morning I turned on the rear defroster, and it blew out the back windshield. I almost had to go change pants.
:lol :lol

you mean the kid just started hitting your car, in front of his parents? What the hell is wrong with people? What the hell is wrong with that kid? I am glad my paint is only in o.k. shape. That way when people start smacking the car I probably won't care nearly as much.
Tochenzo 06-26-2006, 04:01 PM wow that sucks i'm sorry to hear
seems really weird that something like that could happen

Dementor 06-27-2006, 02:32 AM Damn I hate it when people get colse to my car....
I start swearing @ them in German.... Du Amerikanishe Schweine hund.... Except in your case they weren't American...so you can tell them in Bosnian....idi u pisdu materinu... What ever floats your boat man, I jus had to replace my windsield....Fucking freeway... cost me $400 on a 540.
My windshield is double sided, I guess yours isn't, weird that it leaks....
taseal 06-27-2006, 02:26 PM wtf, they did SLAP SLAP SLAP to your car? wtf does that mean, i'm laughing my ass off here :lol :lol :lol
cutncheese 06-28-2006, 03:14 AM A crack is nothing, back when I was in detailing I was spraying down a customers car and the entire window shattered into little pieces. Water sprayed everywhere inside the car etc. Most shocking thing I've ever witnessed!
Its just some imperfections in the glass that you can't see, once you change the glass temp really quickly it can stress these imperfections causing it to crack. Or at least thats the explination someone gave to me :D
hnoppenberger 07-01-2006, 01:58 PM slap slap slap means.
the kid took his hands, and SLAPPED the trunk multiple times.
anyways update.. getting a new window put in wedsday, m50 manifold goes in monday morning... maybe tommrw.
Probably cracked due to your ultra-rice.. I mean RACE tranny mounts.

man i hate that ... this is the reason i dont park in front of chipotle anymore, little 6 year old kid started kicking my door once and i hit the panic button since i saw this inside and they all ran away scared , the mom didnt even do anything, shit if my son was touching someone else's car id stop him!... gahhh
JuliusPleaser 07-03-2006, 10:08 PM What kind of deal did you get on the windshield?
NaziRocket26 07-05-2006, 01:16 AM Alot of insurance companies offer full glass coverage as part of their insurance package. Mine was 0 deductible. PPG windshield was $330 installed... $0 out of pocket.
Rock the size of a damn baseball on the interstate... left two marks on my hood, cracked the windshield to hell, and left a nice knot on the roof. Sadly those were not covered by insurance... just wax.
