They said he was OK but the windshield he had in his van for my Honda was shattered in the accident. The important thing is he was not hurt. I don't drive the car much now that I work at home anyway so I don't mind waiting a few more days. We had a couple of really bad thunderstorms move through here today too, and even working in my garage probably would not have been good for him or anyone else. I rescheduled with Safelite for next Wednesday. Will see how it goes that day.
How did the install go?
My brand new Civic Hatchback with less than 1K on the clock picked up a pebble the other day and the crack looks like the Missouri River heading south.
I also have Geico and Safelite will probably be the ones I use. Did they put in OEM glass?
I'm going to push Geico for OE glass given the age of the car (literally a week to the day when it cracked) Label on shield says it is a Plinkington
I took am a little worried about the trim, increased wind noise etc. Brand new car I tend to eagle eye stuff like that more than a car with some miles on it. I'll be bringing it in to the shop rather than a mobile visit.
Interested how things went
Geico are such cheapskates when it comes to glass replacement.
We just jumped through their hoops getting my grandpa's windshield replaced in his Grand Cherokee. We called the glass company, who had to contact Geico. Geico called my grandpa and asked him when it happened, where it happened, who was driving, where was he during the incident, what caused the crack in the windshield, where the crack is in the windshield, how big it is, etc.
Then they had to send out someone to check to make sure the windshield was actually cracked. This whole process took forever to get done.
My mom called the next week the same exact glass company to replace her windshield in her Jeep through Progressive. She called at 4pm, the next morning they put in a new windshield.
