Windshield Damage Repair

[Roo]

I repair rock chips and cracks up to 12 inches in windshields.

Save your windshield and spend the rest on mods!

99% of all Insurance Companies will pay 100%(except State Farm) and waive your deductible with full coverage.

If you don't have full coverage I will offer great cash deals to Front Range 4x4 members!

Lifetime Money Back Guarantee on all repairs!

Of course..the one I have LOL

[Chris]

You might want to change that Funrover, they're not a good company when you file a claim. As a matter of fact my mother (85 years old) was asking about switching and asked who I recommend and said "Don't even mention State Farm!"

Yep, she once had them. ;)

[Roo]

Sorry, I don't know why they refuse to pay for chip repair now. They are the only one's that I know of and I have list's of insurance companies I have never even heard of that pay for it.

Another thing I forgot to add is insurance will only pay for damage that is 6 inches or less. You got to be able to cover the whole damaged area with a dollar bill.

Funrover, paying out of pocket is still much cheaper than paying your deductible for a new windshield(unless your deductible is $0 of course):lol:

[Patrolman]

Ditto on this. My 4runner leaks bad around the seal. Also, what is the longest crack you fix and how much $-mula?

In order to reseal, I believe the windshield wil have to be removed and reinstalled. In short, no I don't do repairs like that...sorry. Also, windshields are very hard to remove without breaking them, check with a local replacement company and see what they say.

[WINKY]

can you repair pitted windshield? mine is pitted from miles of highways from previous owner, either that or i can pay the $100 to get a new windshield...

I can have it magically broken if needed...LMAO

I don't do re-sealing, I can do single line cracks up to 12 maybe 14 inches.

A couple of things, the crack cannot intersect two edges of the windshield, one is okay. If you have a chip with more than 2 long cracks(over 2 inches coming off it, it is not repairable). Also the newer the crack the better the repair will turn out. If it has been months and you have been wheelin and got muddy water on the windshield it more than likely will have to be replaced. My $ varies depending on the length of crack...call me (720)256-7078

If it is pitted badly a replacement is probably the way to go, just make sure you use a NGA certified shop(National Glass Association) windshields play an integral part of the structure and safety aspects of the vehicle these days. One that is installed wrong can be deadly to the passengers.

I will usually take care of a few of the bigger pits on windshields while I am doing a chip repair but lots of highway time means more than likely it is freckled up pretty bad.

My website has lots of info about windshield repair feel free to check it out! http://www.RoosWindshieldRepair.com

Thanks for the interest guys if I can help let me know!

[Patrolman]

Will call later in the week. Gonna BBQ in the rain today. :)

[WINKY]

yeah freckled up pretty good is a good term. I will check out new glass and run the shop name by you to get a feeling about them. Will this be ok? It only bothers me when sun is hitting head on...

Sorry for late response Deezl, I just read this post. Yes, that will be fine if you want to call or pm me and I will do a little research.:)

[WINKY]

no problem man, its really low on my list...lol

[DKDunn04]

Mine is also really pitted...... and there are a couple large divits..... and I have State Farm..... Damn.

[WINKY]

LMAO you better get a lotto ticket....

[DKDunn04]

The divits were there when I bought it, so im not too worried.

[itsjustdan23]

I have glass coverage on my rig. No matter what window busts or gets busted I have someone out in a matter of hours to fix it. I go through Heartford Insurance. Great company! I dont pay a deductable. I pay an extra 7 bux a month for it. Not a bad investment for sure.

[Chris]

Thanks for fixing my windshield today Reese! Great job and no worries about the big chip spreading. Toot your own horn here and post before and after pics!

:cheers:

[billsbar]

lol I think I'll sit this one out and see where it goes.

Yeah, do this Reese! For those of you who don't know, Reese does a stellar job! He fixed the Escort windshield and it looks great, too.

Even if you don't have a rock ding or crack in yours, I bet you know someone who does. Why not do a little net working and give them Reese's contact information? He is not the only person on the site who is self employed and word of mouth works very well to generate business...

[Roo]

Okay here it is. Before and after pics of Chris' "big rock chip". I had trouble with the lighting on the after pics. I would like to say this is an unusual chip in fact the first time I have ever repaired one like this.

The other 2 before and after pics are not on Chris' vehicle. It is another customer I did a few repairs for. She sent me a testimonial which is one of the one's featured on my website http://www.RoosWindshieldRepair.com She had a repair done at a "competitor's" place awhile back and I will post a pic of it up in the next post so you can see the difference in the finished product.

[Roo]

Here is a pic of one of my competitors repairs. As you can seen they definitely drilled into the glass to do the repair. I only drill if absolutely necessary. The repair process takes a little longer if you don't drill but the finished repair looks alot better if it is not drilled.

[RockyMtnHigh]

I am going to start calling you the, crack man or better yet the crack *hore! :lol:

Nice work!

Good work man! :thunb:

[1freaky1]

Thanks Reese for a great job on our windshield, Val is completely happy with it and you know that means I am a happy man if she is happy!:thunb::thunb:

[Roo]

Your welcome Sean! It was great talking with you while doing the repairs and meeting Val. I appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you on the trails in the future.

[ShutUpHippie]

Thanks for fixing my windshield this evening Reese! :thunb:

I will recommend your services to everyone I know that needs them, you did a great job.

[Roo]

You are welcome Rob! It was great meeting you and I appreciate your business! I hope we can hit the trails together one of these days! Thanks again!

Another satisfied customer here! I've had two chips that started cracking (about 2-3in). Now I can't even tell where they've been. Great job, Reese! I've already called my friend and gave him your phone number. He said he'll call you when needed (Fedex vans) :thunb:

[Smash]

Driving the Forester down to Albuquerque for Thanksgiving, then back. Might need you for a repair, I always seem to get one on that trip.

It was great meeting with you Kubo! Thanks for the tea too that hit the spot with it turning dark and getting a bit cold outside! I am glad your happy with the repairs and I appreciate you telling your friend about me! I wish I would have taken before and after pics of your damage. My camera was dead.

I wish you had told me. I've thought of the same thing after you've left :(

[Roo]

I guess I could have used my phone but they usually don't turn out good I have tried it before.

Guess I better go charge the battery before I forget again like last night.

[Roo]

Oh, I am also giving the award to Chris for strangest windshield damage of 2009! See first pic in post #21 on this thread.

[Rusty]

Probably a dumb question roo but would the crack crossing the entire length of my windshield be able to be fixed?

[Chris]

I should probably let Reese answer but the answer is "no" unless he's a magic man. He id wonders to mine but it was nothing close to that.

[Roo]

Probably a dumb question roo but would the crack crossing the entire length of my windshield be able to be fixed?

Chris is right, the short answer is no. There are a few rules for doing crack repair.

1. The crack cannot intersect two edges of the glass.
2. The crack must be new to achieve good results. (preferably not exposed to precipitation or moisture because dirt will get in it)
3. I will not do a crack repair that runs directly in front of driver's field of vision (some people might, but my preference is not to. Because more often than not you will still be able to see the crack at certain angles.
4. I prefer not to do a crack repair over 14 inches. It is just not a good choice for the owner as anything over that gets expensive and a replacement would be the best choice.

Sorry Rob, next time give me a shout at the first sign of damage and I can keep it from spreading and requiring a replacement.

[Fordguy77]

Nevermind i found my answer above

[Rusty]

Unfortunately it is the length of the windshield, but fortunately it is along the bottom 4 inches of the window so sight imparement isnt an issue.
