Same thing happened to me, 2 cracks in 2 days and for that reason I chose to go to a 0 deductable with my compehensive insurance. it's already come in handy on a couple of occasions and actually didn't increase my policy all that much.

Good luck,

In all my years of driving and all my cars this has never happened to me, and go figure it happens to my new baby in back-to-back days!
To make matters worse ive been told that a new windshield from lexus runs about $700... does anybody know if thats true?

They transport by Freight truck, very expensive way for one box!
Glass-$599.00
top w/s mldg-$21.00
Install-$175.00[/QUOTE]
Above is quote from Steve @ Carson Toyota when I asked him about a new windshield for a GS. That price was for local pick-up, shipping would be quite expensive as special freight is required to guard against breakage en route.
