| Description of the problem | Chipped and/or cracked honda windshield seems to be a problem. This is our 3rd honda cr-v (2010, 2013, and 2016) and with each vehicle, the windshield would chip easily from a stone or pebble on the highway; try to repair but the chip/crack would spread; and so, each time the windshield had to be replaced. Safelite tried to repair it on our current cr-v since our insurance company recommended them but the crack spread. We normally go to norman's (burlington nj) as they do a great job. They replaced it with a ppg oem at about $300 total, which is far less than you wanted to charge. My complaint is why do honda windshields crack so easily? We've had other brands such as jeep and gm/chevrolets and they don't seem to get chips or cracks when a stone hits the windshield. Are we unlucky with hondas or are their windshields weak? The replacement ppg oems seem to be stronger as well. |
