Found a crack on Sunday that I traced to a rock hitting my windshield on Friday. Didn't notice anything when the impact (likely kicked up by a Hummer H2).
I asked about OEM (Nippon Glass?), but my insurance company and the installer said it wasn't necessary and they wouldn't cover that. The installer said fit of PPG or Pilkington would be as good as OEM. The final cost was $400 with the windshield ($115), adhesive ($25), moulding ($127), labor ($107), and sales tax.
The advice by the installer was to not wash the car for
24 hours, but the sealant could take rain. It seems to rattle a bit, but I'm thinking that the sealant hasn't fully hardened/cured yet. I was told driving should be OK although it would take about 24 hours to fully cure. The time it was ready to the time I picked it up was about 2-1/2 hours. It might have started curing before that. It's been in the mid-50's (farenheit) today.I tried posting a version of this earlier, but it may have been lost by Google Groups. I apologize if this is a double post.
