So I posted about my experience with safelite back in July. Basically they came out to fix a chip at suggestion of my insurance. Chip was less than a cm and not deep at all.
he punched my windshield with a sharp metal tool and it cracked. He said it would be fine and then crack was stable and wouldn’t grow.
it has grown. Now I want replacement.
my insurance won’t cover OEM and my called numerous glass companies last couple days and they all said aftermarket non OEM was now available.
So I think I will use insurance And pay the difference for OEM. Was told that was an option.
not sure if I should just wait at this point since non OEM glass is already available or what. Insurance says filing claim won’t affect my monthly premium. $250 deductible.
The whole process, especially safelite has been frustrating.

Pro tip from some glass installers, always go in for replacement. The more experienced techs work in shops, and low pay newbies are usually mobile.
