Tire hit my windshield =(

ggiwin · 11-05-2011, 01:38 PM

I was driving down the 405N and I see this SUV run over a tire on the freeway, I swerve left and the tire ended up hitting my windshield. My windshield is now cracked (all throughout the passenger side) and needs to be replaced. My A pillar also has a crack, it's about 1.25 inches long but it's a hairline crack.
How should I go about fixing the A pillar? It seems like it's just the paint that has cracked but I'm not too sure. I was thinking about just buying nissan touch up paint to fix it but I'm not sure if there is any underlying damage.
As for the windshield, how much would it be to replace? Also, is there anything I need to be cautious of when replacing it?
