Cracked windshield
So I've got a crack in my windshield that just started the other day. It'a about 16" long at this point, and slowly growing. Just curious if anyone else has had to replace their XE's windshield yet, and if so how much approx did it cost you total (in the US)?
Of course I've got the stupid heated glass, so I assume that will cost more than a typical windshield.
Thanks!

I took a rock on the passenger-side edge, which spread maybe 6" in. In MA, there's no glass deductible, so it was replaced, 'no charge'. Not sure if Philips Glass is local, but they did a great job and billed my insurance. No hassle.
They used an OEM windshield which they got from a dealer. No heat on mine, but it has the IR-coating.

Thanks guys. I've got Progressive, and I don't think it will be covered completely. I've got a $500 deductible, and it looks like with Progressive you actually have to have a separate "glass" option for it to be completely covered. So I guess either way it's gonna cost me $500 out of pocket. Flo can kiss my ***.

Safelite collects the windshield and installs like you see on TV ads. There may not just be enough market for the aftermarket XE windshields just yet. They must order it from the closest dealer to the installer is what makes sense. Insurance pays them...

Actually just had my XE windshield replaced by SafeLite which was Progressive's preferred supplier...they did use an aftermarket windshield made by Fuyao. I wasn't familiar with the brand but you can look them up at Advanced American Auto Glass | Fuyao Glass America. Looks about the same as the original to me...it's just not rained yet to test the rain sensor on the replacement windshield. The invoice came to around $675 but I'd added the windshield coverage to my policy so I don't have to pay that.
You can go direct to SafeLite's website and look up their price to replace it. When I checked it looked like they had all the XE options such as heated and heads-up display one.
