    Angry Just A Little Rant....

    Hey Everyone!

    I always see others venting about something that has happened to them... well it's my turn.
    So I get up at 5am to go to my day job. I leave at 6am. I went outside and was fixing my back windshield wiper. All of a sudden out of the blue the left side of my windshield kinda shatters like someone threw a ball through it. Then just second later the right side of the windshield did the same thing! I have no idea what the hell happened or why my windshild just shattered! Needless to say I called out from my day job and went back to bed for a few hours because I just was not in the mood!
    But isn't replacing the whole thing major? I wish I knew what happened. I can't even look at my car without getting all teary!
    This is just Murphy's Law for me - the harder I try it seems the harder I fall!

    Thanks for listening everyone!

    No... not yet. I was hoping if I took it in that the auto shop might be able to tell by the shatter pattern why it happened. I live on a military base so I doubt a bullet would have done it.
    I know people have told me about yor windshield possible shattering during the very cold months of winter. That's the only logical thing I could think happened - but I don't think it was cold enough for that....

    if you have full insurance glass is usually covered without question and without a rate increase.

    Check with your insurance company.

    Its not that hard to replace.

    That is strange though.

    AinNY - it is odd that I was talking about insurance the other day!

    I've called around and I can get it replaced for about $500. For my insurance, this would be under comprehensive right? Well if so my deductable for comprehensive is $500 so there'd be no point in going to my insurance company.

    This is just shitty. I wanted to go shopping today and now I'm stuck at home!

    Someone come get me so I can go shopping!! LOL - I'm such a fiend.

    Check with the insurance company they may have a separate (or no) deductible glass coverage.

    Ouch! That sucks! At leat it's something that's relatively inexpensive that can be fixed relatively easily.

    Make sure you are wearing pants in the car until you know all the glass is gone! Don't want anything up the bum!

    Wouldn't think that you'd have to tell someone that, but then, I guess, given where we are......

    does anyone know whether the auto shop will be able to tell what happened by looking at the shatter pattern? Even IF the wiper froze to the windshield I don't know why the other side a second later popped and has a hole in it now.....
    Unfortunately I won't know nothing till monday - that's the earliest anyone can look at it.

    I swear though - I wish I'd find a BB gun pellet or something - someone would have hell to pay then!!!

    actually it shouldnt be under comprehensive, should it?

    my bmw's convertable top was damaged because of a hurricane, and i paid 100 bucks to get it fixed through my insurance and my comprehensive is 500 as well..

    maybe say it was the weather, and the cold like you think?

    Yes....kinda strange...

    But what i meant is that for glass damage there usually is NO deductable...and no rate increase with most insurance company packages. Check with them before you pay for anything.

    No deductable for glass damage? I don't know - remember I have Esurance so i don't know... maybe I'll call them.
    Ironically I called them yesterday to say I'd be canceling my policy as of Sunday.
    Tonight I need to buy a new policy with Progressive!
    Anyway - I'm trying to attach a picture of the windshield. I don't know if it'll come out - if it does it'll probably be way big - so Sorry

    Thanks for all your help!

    I just called Esurance. Come to find out my deductable for comprehensive (which they said it would fall under) is $250. They took some info and said some one will call me tomorrow. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they cover it. $250 would be a hell of a lot better than paying $500 (or more)

    The two holes...i assume thats where the cracking starts...usually where the rear defroster hooks up(aka what gets hot first)...figured that might have to do with it....ah who knows...im a retard

    Rear windows are rather expensive to replace...I had an 88 tarus wagon for a while and someone shot out the rear window, it was gonna cost more than the car was worth to me to fix it

    Yay! Luckily I called Esurance and they called me to say that I am to take the car into the shop tomorrow. I pay $250 and the shop sends the rest of the bill to the company! That's great - especially considering my plan with them ends today! This information really made me happy!
