What difference does that make?  It happened while you own it.  If you've
cancelled the comp coverage that's a whole differentr thing

I've done it... why dont you let us know - after  :)

SOMETIMES, the mobile crack fixers can fix a minor straight line crack.. have
you tried them?

The problem is that the windshield is an important safety part. In the event
of an crash which cause the car to turn over, the windshield is an important
part of structure of the car and helps keep the roof from collapsing. If it
is  not properly installed, it can pop out resulting in death or serious
injury. For it  to be properly installed, it  has to be installed just so.

 If you look around you can get a 93-96 Taurus windshield for ~$150 installed. Many
glass companies will install your used windshield for ~$75 with no warranty or
guarantee against breakage upon installation.Add that to the $25-50 you spend for a
used glass. That 150-200 tops for new looks good from a hassle avoidance standpoint.
 BTW, I drive used cars, I can't afford new. I've found one of the best investments
in a used car is a new windshield, even if not cracked. After ~50,000+miles they get
"sandblasted" from road grit. If you look really close you can see the minute
scratches and pits. This causes the wipers to smear and haze in light rain in spite of
being "new". Most people don't know this. The thinking is "it's not cracked,,,," It's
also a good selling(or buying) point when properly put forth. I recently purchased a
94 Tempo V-6 with 70K miles. I test drove it in light rain and the "new" wipers
smeared terribly. The dealer had a new glass installed and after negotiations, I got
the car for $1450. I nearly sold it a week later for $2500 but declined. Look for the
"sandblasted" windshield when buying, it is dead proof of purported "highway miles" on
a car. Cars driven around town don't get it as bad.
 For ~$200, every used car I buy gets a new windshield just for safety. Used glass is
an expensive waste of time. This is, of course unless, you are dealing with something
obscure like a Ford Insta Clear or similar. ($1500 new, $800 used if you can find one).
