and take your check book. I saw somewhere that it is $1700 just for the glass. But the looks when driving the car.... priceless.
Just one more plus living in the Sunshine State; insurance covers replacement 100%. There are always "glass people" checking all the windshields at every carwash.

A bit off topic, but Homegameroom, I noticed your garage floor, what product is that and has it stood the test of time?
I used one of the epoxy-type coatings, and bought it at Home Depot (I forget what brand). My only mistake was the acid-etching of the floor. It didn't stick well to a couple of places that I know did not etch well. Otherwise, it's in good shape, but is only a couple years old.
If you don't mind me asking how much did that cost. Cubby said we are going to have to replace our windshield to. Also where did you go to get it replaced? I believe we have three in ours right now. Driving Cubby crazy.Windshield #2 replaced today. This is becoming an annual event.

Thanks Whit. That gives me the direction I need to start heading in. If I can keep Cubby out of Scarlette V long enough to get it done.Those darn stiletto heels........once you get her going..........
If you have comp on your insurance policy, and the chips are in your line of vision, the windshield should be covered (less any deductible). The only windshield available is thru GM, List price $1,696.95. Total cost to the insurance co today, $1,664.78
The Insurance co set up the installer, who is local, they came out to the house and replaced it.
Thanks for the advice Madmac. They are suppose to come to the house sometime tomorrow. I won't watch. I'll keep everyone posted.I had mine replaced about two weeks ago. All I can say, don't watch them do it. When they brought what looked like a jackhammer (really it was just a thin bladed tool attached to a large cordless drill, used to loosen the windshield) I had to walk away. There are a lot of mouldings they needed to take off, but they managed to get them all back in place. The unfortunate part was that when I went to leave, the car would not recoginze the key fob. Tried charging the car battery, and wound up by chance putting the key fob in the glove box holder and the car started. Not sure what went on there. The glass shop tried calling the two local Cadillac dealers, but of course it was 5pm on a Friday and everyone was gone. Made it home and have not had a problem since. Does anyone know what happened here?

I think they killed the battery (car not the FOB) and the car needed to be, for the lack of a better word "re-trained".
If they had the hood up and/or doors open, I'm sure that's what happened. With the courtesy lights on and the computer trying to search for fobs it probably drained the battery. I 'll let you know if I have the same problem tonite when I get home.

They came out. They fixed the windshield didn't replace it.You haven't told us if they came out and replaced the windshield. Did they?![]()
They came out. They fixed the windshield didn't replace it.Kevin seems to be happy with the fix. To be honest you can't see where it was.
I will wait and see if Cubby is happy and see if he wants it replaced.
