costly mistake
Hey guys here is one screw up you might get a laugh out of, even though I wasn't laughing.
Yesterday morning I was putting a fishing rod in the back seat of my truck bending the tip a bit when I pushed a little more the tip sprang back hitting the rear window which mad it explode. I could not believe how easily it happened and it did not take vary much force. Needless to say that this was an expensive lesson after a trip to the glass shop. Dont laugh to hard guys/girls it could be bad for your health. Of course my wife has been ribbing me none stop. Just thought that I would pass on that little lesson so that it might not happen to someone else.

Dude, that sucks! Do you have glass coverage on your insurance? If you do, it's a no-cost, no-penalty claim......it goes on your comp.
Check your policy, it may save you some bucks.

I think what Cumminalong means is that if you have a special zero deductible glass coverage on your comprehensive, it's a no-cost claim to you. Some states (I know Minnesota is one) have a mandatory zero-deductible glass coverage for anyone who carries comprehensive on their auto policy. I currently live in Maryland, which does notmandate the special glass coverage for auto insurance.

haha thats great. understandable though. I'm a firefighter here in california and in our vehicle extracation training they teach us to use the little antenas on the cars to brake out windshields or any other windows on a vehicle the same way you broke yours.

Doesn't claiming this windshield thing raise your rates though? I've replaced 2 of them now and I just paid out of pocket for them.I think they were about 250 or so each.

Glass is considered, by most states and insurance companies, as a safety issue.
