New Windshield

[Patriot]

Yesterday I paid Safelite Auto Glass my $500 deductible to replace the front windshield on my '07 HSE. Very pleased with the results. They even came to my office to do the job.

Look for them in your town. Highly recommended.

Is this the heated windshield?

Is this the heated windshield?

Yes, heated and with rain sensor. Note: it is not LandRover OEM, but I cannot tell the difference.

I've replaced my (heated) windshield twice with OEM glass and have paid a grand total of $100 ($50x2). Gotta love Geico's "Mechanical Breakdown" insurance; I highly recommend it.

Geico says there's a $250 deductible per claim under the "Mechanical Breakdown" coverage, which costs extra BTW.

How much does the window actually cost?

I still think I'd want to demand a LR windshield.

That said, if you can't notice a difference (fine heater lines and all) they may just get it from the same manufacturer, but w/o the branding?!?

How much does the window actually cost?

A little over $800 installed at Safelite. They took my insurance information and worked it out with Allstate.

Patriot, it's $250 to cover the repair for a mechanical part, like a transmission, or in our case...more than likely an air suspension compressor! The glass breakage deductible is $50. I should know, like I said...I've done this twice already.

Yes, it costs money to have that piece of insurance...last I checked it was about $8 a month more. That's money well spent in my mind.

Can you explain more about this Mechanical Breakdown insturance? It sounds like a form of extended warranty.
