Replying to: bourne1 (Apr 11, 2009 3:47 pm) I'm afraid you're out of luck. Sounds like replacement windshield time. Replies to this message: charliehc (Apr 15, 2009 4:28 am) bourne1 (Apr 16, 2009 5:11 pm) dmathews3 (Apr 16, 2009 5:17 pm) exler (Apr 17, 2009 4:46 am) notmybmw (Apr 17, 2009 9:15 am)

Replying to: 210delray (Apr 14, 2009 3:50 pm) There are shops that fix SMALL cracks and dents, but yours would result in a large distortion of the windshield. You are in for a new windshield. I had the same problem and found that, living in Florida, the rubber in the blades just doesn't last. Couple that with tree sap and bird droppings, and a brutal sun, I now change them every year or so before the glass gets scratched. I have a 2009 Camry and a 2002 Tundra, both with the same problem.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: bourne1 (Apr 16, 2009 5:11 pm) Most policies don't raise the cost due to a windshield and I believe states like Florida require the insurance company to replace them without any cost to the owner.

Replying to: bourne1 (Apr 16, 2009 5:11 pm) Let us know if insurance covers that type of damage--I do not know-- it will be interesting to find out.

Replying to: bourne1 (Apr 16, 2009 5:11 pm) Replacing a windshield can cost anywhere from $300 to $700 on your car depending on who does it and what windshield you use. (factory supplied vs aftermarket, tinting, etc all come into play.)   As for affecting your premiums.......probably not......unless you did this once already in the past three years.   Here's what to do: phone three autoglass guys in the yellowpages; tell them you're shopping for a glass replacement guy who'll pay the biggest portion of your deductible on your insurance (that's the 3-500 YOU pay out of pocket, no matter WHAT the total is.)   You MAY find a guy who'll pay the whole thing, in which case your new windshield costs you nothing.   Good luck! Mike
#840 of 904 Scratches and chipping of paint by santocs Apr 18, 2009 (6:02 am)
I just came back from a long vacation and somebody has put 3 to 4 long scratches on my car . Any idea how much paint work costs? I have it covered under my insurance but will my insurance premium go up after this? Replies to this message: notmybmw (Apr 18, 2009 6:15 am) dmathews3 (Apr 18, 2009 5:31 pm)

Replying to: santocs (Apr 18, 2009 6:02 am) Hey, Santocs....sorry about your luck. "How much does it cost to paint a car" is another one of those "How long is a piece of string"-type questions. Depends who you ask....and who does the job. You could probably get quotes from$100 to $1000 depending on whether they a) are good, b) are hungry, c) "see you coming".   Ask a couple of local car dealers (any brand) "Who does your touch-up work?"   Drive the car to three local paint shops and let them have a look at it. Get quotes....pick the one that fits your budget.....AND the one that makes you comfortable about their work. (Ask to see some samples while you're at their shop.)   You probably DON'T want to put this through your insurance, since the cost will probably be about equal to your deductible anyway.

Replying to: notmybmw (Apr 18, 2009 6:15 am) In my area MAACO does great work at 1/2 the cost of a dealer. I have found on 2 cars that I had paint extimates done on all the body shops were within 50 bucks of each other but MAACO was 1/2 and I took the chance and it turned out great. Not to say that will be true in every local.
#843 of 904 Scratches on my car by santocs May 01, 2009 (8:08 am)
Hi,   I was on vacation and somebody has deliberately scratched my car on one side. Has anybody put the side moldings to avoid scratches on the car? is it necessary to go to a dealership itself?   And the scratches are around 1 feet long. any idea how much would be the cost to get it repaired? they just repaint it or do a lot of stuff? there is not dent.. just scratches.
