I cringe

It was very minor. I'll end up getting the Sideview replaced at some point. It's 100% functional and has a crack underneath it and a hole where it folds in. I put some black tape over it for now.Oh no!!!!!!! I keep worrying every time I hear a rock fling from the tires and CRACK!!!! Against either the side of the car or a couple times on a window

I'll have to spend $600 to get it replaced eventually.

Yeah, I was upset at first, but it could've been a lot worse. Luckily no body damage, just plastic and Sarah and I weren't hurt.
As far as my windshield, it just got worse.
A day ago here in North Jersey it was 18° out. I had to take my wife to work and while I was driving west on route 80, she and I literally watched the crack extend to just about 8 inches shy of all the way across the windshield.
The kicker is.. I just got a small Nick in the windshield just at eye line back in August. about 1/4 the size of fishbowl gravel. You had to really look for it to see it. Went to Safelite to see if they could repair it and they told me “no not yet it’s not a crack. It’s gotta form of crack and then we could seal it.” Well…….. it formed the goddamn crack alright.

And glad to hear you and Sarah are OK. Parts can always be replaced, lives can’t. Thank God It wasn’t more serious.

I plan on replacing my windshield next year. The cracks in mine have also gotten longer. We have a trip to Big Bend National Park and Carlsbad in February. I'll replace sometime after that trip.As far as my windshield, it just got worse.

I was going to wait until March to do mine, but the fact that it’s almost all the way across has hastened that decision. Going to go with a factory replacement and going to look into some sort of covering/coating on the new window. I’ll have to do a subject search on the form and deep dive on the ‘net.

I was debating the covering too. Isn't it called X Shield or something like that?

just did a forum search and was looking at that as you posted . Come Monday I’m going to talk to an auto body shop near me that also does ceramic and PPF and see what the can do for me or if they’ll install the exoshield after I get the windshield replaced
Forgot….
to the Fam!
