I took a boulder through the windsheid
LOL, a rock and it did not go through but it sucks.
It left a hole/star about the size of a nickel. I could have it fixed for 80 bucks but it will still look like **** and i will look like some guy who has a nice car and can not afford to fix it. My life is not that bad and in fact I am getting some HRES soon too
It was one of those slow motion nothing you could do scenarios..
The rock was just bouncing and then seemed to lock right on to me and then attacked.
I have a company installing a new one called cali auto glass. They quoted me at 395. It is OEM.
I got quotes all the way to 900
Anyway at 60K miles my windsheild was pretty pitted and I look forward to some clear sweet glass.

4 wheeled car.
BTW nig, comprehensive deductible... That's all you pay to get your windshield replaced. I paid $100 w/ AAA. Now I gots no deductible, so it'd be free for a new windshield. If you got the rain sensor and all that, make sure they give you a good OEM windshield. I got mine replaced 3 months ago.

It is a PPG which makes windshields for Daimler etc., I had one replaced on my past S500 for 5 bills installed, it was really nice, the only thing is it will not have the benz little 3 point star logo but who cares --- It is the same exact thing.

PPG and Pilkington are very different manufacturers, The ppg's are much nicer Imo, I had a Pilkington (oem) at the time that had some serious warped glass. A Pilkington will cost twice the amount of a PPG for the logo and plus perhaps some distorted glass. PPG all the way.

None the less if they have the rain sensors & are quality, I'm all over this thanx to both Vaders
