I was driving along the interstate at a rather sedate pace today when a "pop" attracted my attention to the passenger side windshield. There it was, an 8 inch circular crack descending from the top toward the right side of the vehicle. Damnit, damnit, damnit. I've only got 4,300 miles on the truck and I'm buying a new windshield already.
Thinking about the prior discussions on this board about the ease with which H2 windshieds crack, I am wondering how many of you have had the same problem. If the problem exceeds the frequency of windshield replacements among SUVs generally, then there is a design defect which I would be interested in asking GM to address, either by offering replacements under warranty or at a lowered price or by designing a thicker windshield that does not crack the first time a small pebble hits it in normal use.
Any information you can provide to me about your experience with windshield damage will help. If a significant portion of the owners on this board have had to replace their windshields, I will send GM a letter and invite a response. Please post your mileage at replacement and the cost, including labor, of the new windshield. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Pushrod,
For what it's worth, a broken windshield in most states is covered under the comprehensive coverage of your insurance policy.
This is good because most comprehensive claims carry either zero or very low deductibles.
The other good thing about comprehensive claims is your insurance rates don't increase.
HTH's,
Mark
