Looks like an icicle on a tree branch.

 

I'm gonna guess a windshield chip. What do I win?

 

Should i try a chip kit or take to shop?

 

That's not really a chip. I don't think a kit will work on that.

 

I am going to say that you are going to need a new windshield. May want to call your insurance company.

 

Oem replacement is the way to go from previous experience. Make sure you get the part number if you do.

 

I live in california. How do i approach my insurance company if i only carry liability? I have alwase paid cash but too far from my old shop.

 

You don't, they will laugh at you. Buy a repair kit and try it. If it doesn't work, buy a new windshield.

 

Gonna go get a kit rn. Thanks guys

 

I didn’t have liability and mine was covered w/ no deductible. A phone call and question costs you nothing.

 

you have liability. you have to have it to be legal to drive on the road. he’s saying he has liability only, as in no comp coverage.

 

Comprehensive is what covers glass breakage, deer hits, lightning strikes, falling trees, theft, vandalism, and fire, and it's CHEAP. I have comp only on a few of my vehicles that I'm not driving right now.

 

it covers more than that, but yeah, basically. be careful because “cheap” is subjective and it’s certainly not always cheap. there are numerous factors which determine premiums.

 

You may have heard that some drivers have benefited from a zero deductible full glass replacement clause in their auto insurance policy.

California does not require this type of benefit by law as a few states do, and this means that the deductible associated with your glass replacement service is at the discretion of your provider.

The good news, however, is that some providers do offer a zero deductible benefit for full glass replacement service even though it is not required by law in this state.

You should contact your insurance company today to begin remedying the dangerous situation of a cracked windshield. With a simple phone call, you can determine if you have this zero deductible benefit or how much your deductible amount will be for this type of claim.

 

no comp, no glass coverage at all.

 

Take it to a glass shop. My local shop (not a national chain like Safelite) can repair something like that for $50. Usually cracks up to 5-6 inches.

 

I have zero dollar deductible. Love it

 

New windshield. Do a little research and make sure the replacement isn’t a wavy POS. Safelight and American Glass are pretty good. Techniglass has been trouble for me.
