Luckily it is on the passenger side so it doesn't bother me. The real problem is the ridiculous number of trucks hauling dirt and pebbles around the great Puget Sound area. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. Same thing happened to me… the crack now stretches halfway across my windshield. Luckily it is on the passenger side so it doesn’t bother me.

The windshield is covered under comprehensive insurance, but you likely have a $500 deductible. I'd guess your screen costs about $250. Mine costs $460. :( BTW, you shouldn't ever tint your windshield! It's illegal in most states.

Though I think they only cover "fixing" the ding by filling it in, instead of replacing the whole windshield.. Hmm that’s a good idea, I should check on that.
