    The windshield ended up catching an object during the tail end of the snow
    storm driving to PA on the Jersey turnpike last Sunday night. I am having
    the dealer replace the windshield with a genuine Honda windshield on
    Tuesday- my question is - should I be concerned the crack started from to
    top of the glass under the upper molding? I emailed the previous owner and
    he said he never had glass or roof problems. the car now has 92k miles on
    it. I plan to keep it for 300k miles or more. the crack is about 10 inches
    long, grown down in front of my vision area. I didn't feel comfortable
    having safelite replace the glass in the parking lot in PA on my business
    trip. Do they make their own glass?

    Usually the dealer subs this work out. I would be very surprised if the
    dealer is doing it. You might be ahead with the Honda windshield though.

  3. I don't know if anyone else ever had this happen, but I had a
    windshield replaced by a mobile installer once. I left the car at home
    and when I returned that evening, I noticed there were dents in each
    fender where the installer had placed his knees while he placed the
    windshield and leaned into the fender. It caused $340 in damage. The
    glass company paid for the damage after all was said and done. Most
    recently, we had a windshield replaced on our Ford at the dealership
    (don't really know who actually did the job) and when I picked up the
    car, there were "knee" marks on the fender. These didn't actually cause
    dents, just marks in the dust/dirt that was on the car. Something to
    look out for.
