fastest windshield replacement

driven only 1080km.. I need a new windshield already.. a stone chip 1mm away from the lower plastic trim below the windhshield wiper.. 1mm lower and it would have bounc off the plastic trim.. 2 inches higher it would hit the windshield wiper

lucky insurance is covering most of the cost.. still sucks

driver or passenger side?...

it technically doesn HAVE to be replaced unless the crack obstructs the driver's view pretty bad...

I understand wanting it replaced b/c well, cracks look like ****, and must be nice if insurance said they'd do it, but becareful as it could impact your premium costing you more in the long run...

I been with this company for a while, I had two windshield replacements in my old car in 4 years and the premiums didn't go up. They are pretty good for that..
