only in BC... not sure what it's like here. I'm pretty sure it's no biggie though. I guess if you pay for the extra coverage, you might as well go for it.

Isn't the deductible so stupid high that there is no point in claiming unless you had multiple windows broken? That's the impression that I always got.

i guess i'll have to call RBC today and see what they say.. reading a few threads on beyond people said the deductible is like 40-60 bucks on average..

O.E.M and if they argue tell them to wave the deductible and they will.

Re: winsheild insurance question..?

well WTF i phone rbc up and they look up my car tell me is 250 for the deductible!

i swear a few years back someone had a mk4 windshield replaced for like 350 bucks... i could be imagining that tho.. i'm going to phone a few places and see what they would charge outright..

f'in insurance.. i swear i'm just going to put pl/pd on my car

Re: winsheild insurance question..?

i'm buddies with the owner/manager of kings glass

also we have a "warranty program" where when you buy a new windshield, you can buy 3-4 year warranty on it for $450-550ish and for the time bought, ALL chips are free and windshields with cracks that are unrepairable are replaced for $50......so if you get 10 cracks in the 4 years or what have you, you get 10 windshields for $50ea........
