Hey all, First off I want to say I love this site and there is a lot of helpful pieces of information here and I look forward to being an active member of this community.

I got my HHR about 3 days ago and I was driving down the highway here in Florida, and heard a loud " Snap" noise. Turns out that a rock hit my windshield at about 60mph........ It caused a crack about 10 inches long on my windshield...... I hear it's free to egt replaced in Florida....we'll see.

 

3 days? That sucks.

All glass is free in SC if you have full coverage. This is nice to have.

 

I am so sorry! The last time I had a windshield replaced, it was free, but then the Insurance went up. Hope yours does not!

 

My advice is to make sure you get a PPG replacement rather than the OEM.

 

Spot on CH! I don't know where that OEM glass comes from but it very fragile. Shop around before you have the windshield replaced. Your insurance co. may squeal a bit, but the PPG windshield will take a beating that the OEM windshield won't. Good luck.

Thanks Guys....I'm currently at work now.....waiting to hear back from my insurance agent.....Hopefully it will be free....i'll ask about the ppg glass

 

Ask about getting the tint across the top too. PPG makes it both ways.

Found out the hard way! I had to replace mine and asked for the tint stripe, the glass they brought didn't have the tint stripe, but was PPG also.

I like having the tint stripe, very little cost difference.

 

to the site!!! My windshield on my HHR got cracked from a rock within the first week of ownership too. Dealer replaced it because they were driving it at the time it happened.

 

PPG? Pittsburgh Plate Glass??

 

Yep...those are one in the same.
