Windshield claim
 

Did a search and couldn't find anything.

I have a cracked windshield and am looking to claim it through ICBC. For those with older cars, any idea if they replace the windshield moulding as well?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations as to where to get it done?

broco gets my vote


dont go with speedy glass

What makes Broco better than Speedy?

the broco in coq i went there 3 times, they were really friendly and honours their work.

Speedy more expensive, and had bad experience with them.

I went to broco for my glass too

I went to Speedy on Kingsway and 12th....

They've been good to me the couple of times that I went.

Broco gets my vote as well.

What car?

90+% of cars have the windshield attached to the body with a urethane adhesive and the trim just goes between/on top. I just had the windshield done on my 4x4 and it just uses a rubber strip and another strip of rubber to compress it against the body.

BTW iirc if the car was stationary when it happened, it might be a $300 deductible but if the car was being driven it could be $200, Post the vehicle because sometimes it's cheaper to do it privately.

^ the $200 is ONLY if its a rock or a form of flying missile that hits the windshield haha

S13 240SX.

'twas a rock chip from highway driving that I never bothered fixing until now as the crack is beginning to spread wider and wider..

I went to broco and loved the fact that they included a free interior shampoo and new wipers

I replaced my windshield in November by a glass shop called "Rapid Auto Glass" in coquitlam near the Ikea.

Basically it went something like this:

Drove to them and went inside, told them i wanted to replace my windshield and i wanted to go thru ICBC. Gave them my insurance papers and filled out a form. They really don't care whether or not the crack is due to a flying rock on a highway, they just want a date when the crack happened. They did not even go outside to examine my windshield. You can bullshit the "Date of Loss", I wrote down the first month and date that popped in my head. Dropped off my keys, they gave me a courtesy car, and I went home. Went back to them the day after at noon and my car was done. They used OEM glass too. (which Speedy does not)

All in all, I did not need to personally deal with ICBC, they do that for you. And I got a new windshield installed within 24 hours.

All I had to pay was $200. The invoice they gave to ICBC was over $1000.

(They do interior cleaning of the dash and give you a set of new wipers too)

^ LOL when i was working, some guy came in to me telling me that i fked up his insurance cuz i put a $300 deduct on his comp, and he was charged for $300 cuz his wind shield was changed out.. after some arguing.. i found out that an angry gf bashed the windshield.. so icbc covered it under vandalism which was the $300

+2

I got dinged by a rock on the freeway. Waited too long for the chip fix. The crack has now spread a third of the way up the windshield. Went to ICBC and got paperwork done. Lucky for me, I had replacement coverage. So Broco in Coquitlam is the place to go? How's the place next to Sounds Good?

^ how long it take for the crack to spread? i got 2 dings on my windshield right now from oct. smaller than a dime

Well they use OEM glass, gets it done in less than a day. Very friendly bunch. Manager's name is Lawrence.

Broco or the other place?

Fafine - it depends. I've had a crack go 6" across the windshield after doing a hard corner. I've also had others that went unchanged for months.

just under 2 days......


The ding was about the size of a dime and close to the bottom of the windshield, just above the wipers. It looked pretty innocent. The change in temperature may have been the cause. Car was parked facing the sun. Morning was cold and overcast, but by the time I left work, it was hot and sunny. This is the second ding on my windshield. The first one, I got fixed ASAP and that was the end of that.

I'm thinking the chip being near the edge of the glass was a big factor in it spreading so fast.

broco :thumbsup:

What?!? I always thought you were retired and posted on here to get your daily dose of humor. You get paid while posting on here?

I have a new respect for you, sir. :thumbsup:

I went to speedy on kingsway and 12th a couple months back to claim for the stupid kids who lit a m80 on my windshield. Honestly, i wasn't satisfied with the job they did at the end. The moulding on my car was never replaced, infact it looks like its falling off/detached from my windshield. Plus they didnt even give me the proper windshield for my car, they gave me a windshield for a different series model.

Shhh......... not so loud. :D

Looks like the thread favors broco in coquitlam....

Cause I have a chip on my windshield also, which I should replace soon.

went to broco in vancouver, same story different location heh
