East Bay Honda s2000 Windshield Replacement
I've got a crack that wont stop!
Who knows of a windshield replacement company that can help me out.
Who's got firsthand experience with this sort of thing?
The only quote I've gotten so far was a place my dad uses in South San Francisco: "$250 aftermarket glass. $270 PPG glass [used by honda & other car people] PPG needs a couple days lead time to order. They are open on Sat. You can schedule yourself in/it takes a couple of hours. Price includes the trim. Add tax"

It appears to be a rock chip in that spot just below the windshield wiper on the driver's side.
I didn't know this, but apparently that's a common spot for rocks to get sucked into the windshield.

I had mine replaced about two weeks ago and I just called my insurance company and they replaced it for $100 (my comprehensive deductible). It was done by Safelite and they came and did it while I was at work. It was aftermarket glass, and the total price was $343.15.
I can't say I'm terribly happy with it, though. The mirror is higher than it was before and the tech scratched the window frame. He painted over it, but you can still see the mark.

My current comp deductible is $500. I priced out the premium increases to reduce deductible to $250, and $100, and so long as I dont get a new windshield every year, I'll be better off paying out of pocket. I'm with State Farm.

This is a lame description, but the black part of the frame is some soft-ish coating material on top of the metal. This is the ~1.5" shiny black part in between the rubber seals. That's what he scratched/tore through, so yeah, make sure you check it closely. Edit: [I should note that mine's a MY01. The design may have changed...]
For the mirror, make a mental note, or better yet, take some pics beforehand. Afterwards, take your time, sit in the car and adjust the mirror to its proper position and make sure it's in a reasonable spot.

spot checking (and documenting) for near-window damages.
