    Yeah....You need to make sure you understand insurance man.

    What you just described is how insurance works all the time- It's not FREE unless the company SAYS it's free.

    In the state of FL- The law mandates they repair front windshields and that they waive the deductible for the front. All the other windows are repaired using insurance the normal way- pay up the deductible and they cover the remainder.

    Also note that you can adjust your deductible- In general- Smaller deductible (you pay less in an accident) means you pay more month to month for coverage. I carry $1000 deductibles cause if it costs less than that to fix- I'll do it without ever calling my company. If it's more that that, I'll pony up the first 1000.

    What do YOU want? Do YOU want them on, or do YOU want them off? ;)



    For me personally, I have them on my truck. Keeping the door ding protection is the ONLY reason I keep them on. I don't really need to use them to get in or out.
