Depending on where you go, anywhere from $300 and up I believe. Call your insurance, see if they cover windshield replacements.

Just for reference, I was quoted about $750 for an OEM Honda windshield here in MA. Aftermarket should be significantly lower I believe.

That wouldn't have the antenna included...... would it? That sounds pretty cheap.

If you have insurance, they'll replace your front windshield only for free in most states.

i dont think the antena is on the rear window itself, its that lil black thing hanging at the edge of the rear roof liner. the rear window only has the defroster stuff on it.

no, the antenna lines are the ones at the upper most area on the rear glass. you can see the differerence because they dont run edge to edge exclusively, like the defroster lines. they go up/down and make a square etc.. for reception.

I got a big crack in the front windshield, not knowing the origin where it came from, but i know someone did it b/c the crack is so huge that if a rock fly in and hit it, it would crack the hole thing.

again, call your insurance company. they are required to replace broken windshields for free due to it being a safety issue.

Just call them.

It depends on the insurance company. Here in MA, my insurance company does cover it if the windshield is damaged. Some companies may not cover a replacement like your State Farm. If you don't know, just call the insurance company and ask.

Will my insurance cover my windshield replacement?
Most windshield replacements are covered under comprehensive automobile policies. In Massachusetts and Connecticut, you most likely have full glass coverage with no deductible. Call us and we’ll help you process your claim with your insurance carrier.

Will insurance cover a repair?
The majority of insurance companies do cover repairs and often waive the deductible, if required.

Windshield & Glass Claims (Progessive Ins.)

We know the importance of repairing or replacing glass damage, and Progressive's glass service makes the process easy and convenient for you.

Here's how to make a glass claim, and what we do for you:

Call 1-800-PROGRESSIVE (1-800-776-4737) and report the damage as soon as possible. Select the option to report an "auto glass only" claim before having the glass repaired or replaced. Calling us first prevents unnecessary costs to all involved parties — if you have the glass replaced or repaired before you call us, you may pay more for the repair.

A Progressive claims representative will work with you to review your policy and to make sure you are covered for any repairs. Usually, Comprehensive coverage is required for a claim involving only glass damage.

Once we determine coverage is available, your claims representative will arrange the repair or replacement of your glass at the location of your choice. Repairs often are completed within 48 hours of your phone call.

When a glass shop in Progressive's network — or another shop that agrees to a pre-established price — completes the work, you pay only your deductible for glass replacement. You pay nothing if the glass can be repaired.

To verify if you have Comprehensive coverage, please refer to your policy declarations page.


You Pay No Deductible for Windshield Repairs
If both of the following conditions apply, you pay no deductible to have your windshield repaired:

You have Comprehensive coverage and have windshield damage that your policy covers.

Your windshield can be repaired safely rather than replaced.


You Choose Who Fixes the Glass
After you report your claim to Progressive, you can choose Safelite Auto Glass, the country's largest automobile glass replacement company, or an affiliate in Progressive's network of approved glass shops to repair or replace your glass. You also can choose any shop outside of Progressive's network of glass repair shops to do the work.

The benefits of choosing Safelite or an affiliate shop to repair or replace your glass include:

Guarantees — A national warranty, as well as a Progressive guarantee, are provided on the work for as long as you own or lease the vehicle.

Convenience — Glass repair or replacement is mobile, so you can choose to have your car fixed at work, at home, at a shop — wherever.

Quality — Glass shops in our network meet our strict quality standards.

Price — Shops in our network agree to complete work at pre-arranged prices, which means you only pay your deductible and no surprise charges.

Work done by a shop not affiliated with Progressive will be covered by that shop's warranty.

That is nice, however, does your premium goes up after you claim on renew period?

Q. Will my insurance company raise my rates if I get my windshield replaced?
A. No. Windshield replacement is covered under the “comprehensive� part of your insurance, not the “collision� part. A cracked windshield does not reflect your driving capability and doesn’t increase risk to the insurance company, so it will not affect your insurance premiums.
