Crap. New Windshield time :(
Yea, after 500 miles. New windshield. Marble-sized rock flew up and took it out. Nissan uses thin glass and it did it in.
Anyway, $500 Insurance company contracts through Safelite, and they are using OEM glass and coordinating that with my dealership. How bad will the tear my 3 day old car up replacing this? :shakes head: |
oh crap! :( the outer a-pillar cover is hard to remove without breaking so i would keep an eye on that. courtesyparts.com sells pre-painted ones if they do break them.

Did not see what you were talking about re: pre-painted one's, though. |
Good luck. I'm still dealing with Safelite after they damaged the paint on my car removing the old windshield adhesive. They are trying to give me the runaround.

A Virginia Z Owner and I have both had the same experience on separate occasions. Rock on glass. Mine was two weeks after I bought the car. Both of us used Safelite and had no issue.

I don't think you have any other options, if you need the windshield replaced, it's gotta be done. I wouldn't worry about Safelite specifically, it all depends on who it is that is actually working on your car.
I will tell you now though, you are going to be cringing as you watch all the panels that need to be removed on our car to remove the windshield. |

How do I replace that trim if they crack it? Kenchan's link did not lead me to anything pre-painted. |
If you are concerned with safelite... I'm not sure what the laws are like in your state, but the company cannot dictate who does the work for you.

I even keep my 2002 G20 in flawless condition almost. I am OCD about stuff. |
That sucks, but I think everything will be fine.

It won't de-value the car in any way, if they do it right and oem glass is used, will it? |
Nah, no one would even know. Honestly, I think the OEM glass is **** anyway, so I didn't care that they used an aftermarket windshield.

Nope, it shouldn't devalue anything at all. |

I called Courtesy, and yes, they can get them pre-painted. I just hope this isn't the nightmare that I think it will be. |
