Front windshield Replacement
 
So mine cracked due to a rock chip, anyone know the general ballpark estimate for a new one? And it cant be repaired the crack is way to big, look at your thumb fingernail, you have that inner sunshine looking thing that what it looks like if your whole thumbnail was the windshield.

Had it happened 3 darn times since 2010. My insurance has a glass deductible
of 50.00 bucks. I always go the OEM Nissan glass route. est ..about 600.00
Best Of Luck...

I had the same issue with my Rx8 a long time ago and when I called the dealership they quoted me around $250-300 dollars.. Again, this was a while back but I believe the 370z should be around this number.. Someone correct me if I am wrong.. I never ended up getting it replaced and sold that car with the crack. lol. Hope that helps some.

What's the difference between Nissan glass and other windshields? I've got a couple rock chips and one in the driver's view so the repair guy won't fix it. I got a quote of $350 from an auto glass shop but I'm sure it wasn't OEM. I've got $100 deductible on glass so it doesn't matter to me. What's the difference?

Minsu 07-05-2014 12:33 PM

The difference in glass is the AMOUNT of material used in the making of glass. Cheaper glass is thinner and weaker more expensive glass is more thicker and springy. The oem glass from what i hear is 600+. I called Geico and they said that my premium wont go up just from that and that my deductible will only be $50 bucks and Im gonna give it to SafeLite when they come and check it out. So hopefully everything ends well and my car looks brand spankin new.

I had the windshield replaced on my 350Z due to a rock causing a small cracks. The cracks usually become larger over time with differences in temperature. My insurance has no deductible on windshields, and I think this generally the case with most insurance companies. I had Safelite do it and I was satisfied. Haven't had the problem on my 370Z but as much as I drive it, I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.

Farmer's insurance does not cover windshields outside of deductible requirements (reports the owner over the years of a 2005 Grand Prix gxp, 2010 escape, a 2011 mustang gt (twice) and a 2014 escape (wife likes escapes)). All of which had windshield replacements where the first $500 came out of my pocket :shakes head:.

I replaced my windshield for a non-oem one for $230. They came to my house and installed it within 1.5 hours.

I had my windshield replaced last October, luckily insurance in FL covers it completely. OEM Nissan glass would have been $400 or so out of pocket and the PPG from Safelite was $0. Allstate said that my 2009 was "too old" to qualify to get the OEM Nissan glass covered 100%.

PPG is as good as gold.
