Re: smashed windshield
Sorry to hear about this.
A damaged windshield caused by a stone kicked up by another vehicle would be a covered claim under your personal auto insurance policy if you purchased comprehensive insurance coverage. Some insurance companies do not even require that you pay the deductible if the windshield can be repaired. Call your insurance agent and get specific details. Hope this helps and good luck!

Re: smashed windshield
I know the replacement of a windshield does not cost as much as my 500 dollar deductible. There are ways to have the cracks filled. Here is a website with a little more information. http://www.achickandawindshield.com/repairable.htm

Re: smashed windshield
Get 'er replaced... between $250 and $300 -- very cheap. I had the same looking chip (below)... and even after I had it "repaired" it never really disappeared. -- it looked very close to the picture below. It was also on the driver's side and I could not stop staring at the damn thing, so I just had it replaced.
Before Repair
After Repair
