What's wrong with yours, most insurance companies replace windshields free of charge

Default GEICO will fix it for free, but you have to pay for a new one

What surprised me is that they say they can fix a windshield if the break is less then 5-6 inches. I always heard it was suppose to fit under a quarter. Maybe they have better glues
Also, the fix will restore the integrity of the windshield but chances are you'll still be able to see the crack.

Default That is all dependent on your deductible with Geico.

A $500.00 deductible will not allow glass replacement, albeit a $1000.00 deductible has glass replacement.

This though may vary from State to State.

Default I would believe it considering...

AZ has:
- Tumbleweeds
- Psychotic suicidal animals
- Dust storms
- Hail
- Plenty of stones on the road

Default If they wanted to "fix" a crack thats 5 inches, I'd throw a rock through the windsheld!

That's insane, even thg best fixes still show the original crack, it'll just be more glass colored that white, and not spread.
