This may sound crazy but I went to safelight glass on my 07 Volvo S60R that had the rain sensor **** in the glass and they actually did an amazing job. Everything still worked 2 years later. I didn't have windshield coverage and the OEM one was over 1500 dollars. I paid about 250 for the job. They give workmanship warranty for 24 months so it may be worth a shot.. maybe worth looking into..

dang... I just got quoted from the lexus dealership for windshield replacement. Parts is ~1.4k and labor is ~300. Is it always this expensive? How much should I expect from a glass shop?

I think it depends on the glass you use determines on the cost. I didn't use OEM Volvo glass and saved over 1400..
If you DD your car and there is a possibility of it cracking again. Just go with a cheaper alternative.

I agree! My insurance (Progressive) set everything up already, paying the deductible and they'll cover the rest. Just waiting for a call from Safelite to see if they have my windshield.

Should I be concerned driving with a cracked windshield? the crack started from the bottom middle and started to spread to the middle of the windshield.
