Bertha's windshield is cracked. |
|
No, really. One of our cars is named Bertha. Her windshield is cracked.
Does anyone know about windshield repair? The crack starts in the bottom right-hand corner and goes up diagonally. Can that be repaired, or will it have to be replaced?

1. It sounds like it is a few inches long. I just had mine replaced about |
|
a month ago. I used Safelite and it cost about $300. You may be able to find someone who will do it a little cheaper. They came to my office and did it while I was at work.
I drove the car around for about year before getting around to having it replaced. The crack on my car was about 18-24" long.

2. Wow - that's a big crack. |
|
Bertha's is only about four inches long. I made an appointment with Safelite, too. Their site says if the crack is smaller than a dollar bill, they might be able to repair it. Fingers crossed.

3. I've named our home security system Bertha |
|
She talks to us "Front door open", "back door open"
Don't know why I named her Bertha but that's the name I chose.
Good luck with the repairs. I have no advice to give on that subject because I have no experience with that type of maintenance.
:hi: :hug:

4. A lot of car insurance policies cover replacement. Give them a call. |

right, or even the new one can come out while you are driving. Here you can get a ticket for it. dc
