[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 291261, member: 4527"] I guess you people have been lucky that after driving many cars for many years, still dunno how a windshield insurance works and where to find windshield repair man. Such topics can be very deep and tiring to explain. My handphone has a windshield repair man contact that make house calls even on holidays and he has patched many lobangs for me d for all my other cars. My BMW still lucky.. touch wood! I am not sure he's the best man around but I no time to shop around and compare quality, meaning I'm not sure he's good enough for u. So if u really need his contact from me, PM me or u can try your luck out there as I am sure they are plenty good ones around. Meanwhile, what u need to do is: 1. Always use a "salofin" tape to cover crack to prevent contamination. 2. Don't park under hot sun. It will promote the "growth" of the crack. 3. Contact the windshield specialist ASAP. 4. Don't use the car is possible and park it in nice cosy shaded car park. Windshield insurance? won't affect NCB if u claim but u need to top up as it matures after u claim. Otherwise, can keep claiming within the year, insurance company pokai lo! I would avoid replacing the windshield because: 1. V-Kool le? Not cheap. 2. When job not right, water will seep in.. messy.. 3. removal of windshield will leave behind many scars on the chassis because of scrapping the old rubber/silicon out which will result in rust. So patch it back is my first priority! Many way to claim.. A) If u don't have insurance... u do this.... (sensored) B) If u have insurance, and want to over-claim why? and how?... (sensored) C) If u have insurance and do not wish to over claim and stick to the bill, just call up your agent and ask for the nearest windshield panel shop, just go there. Kao tim! [/QUOTE]
