I finally broke down and had the windshield replaced in mine a week ago. I had it cracked the 2nd week I moved back to CO from the DC area......(5 years ago). Windshields in CO have like targets on them and the fun never ends. Insurance companies have taken to selling specific window supliment ins for us in CO as we average a new 1 every 2 years or so.
I had a safelite shield put in and the guys were very good about being careful.
