just got a chip on my s2k windshield this morning... about the size of a dime. does anyone know of a good place to take it to in austin? or do i have to replace the whole windshield?

 

if its a chip, get it fixed pronto. just look in the yellow pages. most places will come to your home or work and do the repair right there. also, depending on your insurance, it should be free - they should cover it or reimburse you. call em up for verification and the process.

also, if you want to come out to the Austin area happy hour, we'll be at Waterloo this evening.

 

what time will you guys be at waterloo today? which waterloo location is that? don't know if i should show up with my busted windshield... anyway, thanks for the info!

 

We usually get there... what is it, somewhere around 6? maybe 6:30 or even some people show up around 7pm. Its the waterloo on 38th and Lamar. even with a busted windshield, we hope to see you there. if you call your insurance company now and a windshield repair company, you *might* be able to get it fixed before happy hour. keep in mind, if you must replace the entire windshield it will not be cheap. I'm on my second windshield, and another local is on her third! they are ~500 for install and materials, unlike the 150 you might be used to in other cars. I hope it can be 'filled' or repaired. If it cracks and spreads that might be able to be stopped. It all depends. But if its a chip, or a small crack, they can repair that and prevent it from spreading.

 

lol

Randy you make it sound like it is an Austin affair; you are going to scare smokins2k.

Disclaimer: the rate at which some Austin S2000 owners go through windshields is in no way directly related to this city.

 

p.s. SmokinS2k I hope you can make it to waterloo. It is always good to meet new s2k owners. Check out the central Texas forum -- that is where we Austin owners hang out at.

 

thanks for the invite... i'll stop by and meet some fellow s2k owners. just got mine in nov and now the busted windshield... aarrrgggghhhh!!!

 

Call Jeff's Windshield repairs. I had a dime sized chip in mine too, you can't even tell it was ever there anymore. He uses industrial grade epoxy, a UV curing light, and high pressure injector. I have tried a kit from the store for my accord. It does not work and will not last over time. So far the S2000 repair is perfect, and waranteed for the life of the windshield. The sooner you get it done, the better, so dirt doesn't get in there and the crack does not spread.

Cost is $35. You can probably talk him down to $30 cash. It's just a street corner operation, he comes out to McNeil & 183 about twice a week.

Jeff's cell: 512-801-4743

Good luck!

 

thanks! i just called jeff and will meet him after work to get this eye sore taken care of! i'll see you guys later at waterloo!
