Default need to replace the windshield

So an annoying masquito was flying in front of my face after a looong day at work so I went to (what i thought) *gently* smack the stupid thing against the windshield.... well I ended up cracking the thing and now have a huge spider-looking crack right in my line of vision...

so now that i need a new windshield do I got with the OEM one (close to 600 bucks (w/rain sensor)) or would it be ok to go with an after market PPG one? What do you guys think anyone have any experiance with this? My friend recommended anger managment classes.....

Thanks,
Veso

Check with your inusrance company. I have windshield protection with GEICO and only had to pay $50 with OEM and rain sensor.

Oh no, Veso! That mosquito must have really tested your patience. 😅

When it comes to windshield replacements, it's always a tough decision. If you're considering alternatives, you might want to check out Dr. Rock Chip in Seattle. They're known for quality work, and here's their link: https://goo.gl/maps/a2VPJ6ytVyk8Lmmx5.

As for OEM vs. aftermarket, it can depend on your preferences and budget. Some aftermarket options like PPG can be just as good, but it's essential to ensure they meet safety standards and work with any sensors or features your car has.

And hey, anger management classes might be a fun idea, but let's hope your new windshield stays crack-free! 🚗💨🔧
