| Description of the problem | I have had the prius prime for only four months when i was driving to work on a highway and a small rock hit the edge of my windshield and immediately left a one foot crack. There were no big trucks or big rigs near me so i'm not sure where the rock came from. I read the prius forums and found out that they happens quite often to prius owners and typically costs $1500 total to replace the windshield and recalibrate the forward-facing camera at the dealership. I have requested a quote from safelite autoglass and will call my aaa insurance. I sure hope they will cover the repairs as i do not believe this is in any way my fault. |
