Anyone know how much a windshield on a 99 DII will cost me. It has the filament that runs through it. Thanks Steve | ||

Probablly cheaper at a glass shop (not 100% sure though as I just have to pay an insurance deductable) | ||

got mine(01 disco2 with heat) replaced at dealer for ~$870 glass shop quote about the same since they have to get the parts from dealer as well. | ||

Depending on your deductable on your insurance, you usually can get it fixed for free. Alot of those glass shops will pay your deductable and you pay nothing out of your pocket. I may be wrong in assuming it would work for that expensive piece of heated glass in a D2, but I would give it a shot. | ||

Yeh robert you are correct. Most of the time you end up paying nothing, and your rates do not move. I get a new windsheild every year...its always genuine glass, and they do it in the parking lot of work. You never notice how shitty your glass is, untill you have a new windsheild in front of your face joshua | ||

they will generally pick up the deductable to FIX it but not REPLACE it, two different things. They will just pay for it to get fixed because its better than you waiting around for the crack to run and then paying the deductable causing the insurance company to shell out much more money for the new windshield than it would have cost to just fix the crack before it ran. | ||

Carter thats why you make sure its not "fixable" before you call  josh | ||
| Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 544 Registered: 04-2002 |
huh? you genrally have to pay the deductable if its not 'fixable' | ||

There are many ways to write a policy. I have had no deductible for glass on one. Freeby!! Absolutely no cost and they came to my house. However it's probaly priced into the policy somewhere. | ||

you always pay for everything you get and then some | ||

Had my wife's glass replaced in her Honda last year before we traded for the D2. It was a Very Small nick in the glass but in the drivers line of vision, thus, they could not "repair" it. Cost me every bit of nothing, and they came to the house even and fixed it in the driveway, no change in my insurance rates.. | ||

Mike Huggins: where (dealer, chain franchise, etc)? Others with cracked windshields want to know. | ||
| Steve Biggs (Steve) Member Username: Steve Post Number: 42 Registered: 02-2003 |
Thanks everyone! And yes it needs to be replaced. I had a couple long pieces of conduit (flag poles) laying from the dash out the back with the rear door open and my wife drove ahead to get the next flag, steped on the brakes the door swung shut and the flags went through! There's no repairing this one! Actually I'm damb lucky I'm not replacing the rear window also! Peace! Steve | ||

$230 windshield in SF, CA? With heated?? do you mean, you pay the insurance $230? and get it fixed? I called around some glass shops and all said they need to buy from LR dealer. | ||

Joshua, A new windshield every year?!? What the f>>>? That seems like overkill. Cripes. | ||
| Joshua (Joshua) Member Username: Joshua Post Number: 244 Registered: 10-2002 |
Todd You just dont realise how shitty your windshield gets in a year... The amount of driving I do, with road tar, rocks etc.... Its like skiing all day with foggy goggles, and then the last run, you wipe them clean, and say to yourself, damn I didnt know what I was missing J | ||
| Charlie Fok (Verboy) New Member Username: Verboy Post Number: 12 Registered: 03-2003 |
