Hahaha, maybe "accdident" by doing some "extreme" sport in the car.

Anyway TS, I want to know the shop details also, pls PM. Good to keep it handy for myself or friends. I just changed mine about a month ago. KNN, the stone hit the corner, cannot repair and the crack grow day by day, from 1in to 10in, RM420 bye bye.

yeah it is highly advisable to do it.....do not be stingy on this.
but im not sure how much protection does the insurance cover for the windscreen.

side note: for new civic owners, please get it insured...the main glass itself cost a bomb i was told.....original glass cost about 2k insured value, not sure if it covers tinting or not, need to find out. even my dad's camry glass was only 900....wtf 2000 for civic.

It's quite expensive to pay RM60 to fix the windscreen.

My 2 cents:
Just buy a super glue to glue the part that got hit! If the crack is too big, then change windscreen lo......

hmm i saw a ''thing'' in ACE hardware summit, its DIY repair windscreen chips,bulleye,etc etc
but no price on it so i dunno how much,

this is like autoglass in uk

see how the process works.

hmm the "thing" in ACE hardware is smaller, like a injection needle,
maybe i try get 1 since my windscreen chipped edi,

Mine also kena stone. I bought insurance for windscreen but i didnt insure my tinting so not enough to cover for a new windscreen + tinting.
So i sent it to fix at the panel for Tokio Marine insurance. The "glass mechanic" shop is opposite pelita in SS2. They will do the claims, etc for you cos they are panel.

Berapa RM??

I've read the procedure to fix minor windscreen crack/chips in the newspaper few weeks back. Apparently they use resin to fill the cracks. According to the article, they can still see the resin upon close inspection. However, for the price they are charging, i think it's good investment if the windscreen can last few more years.

Oh ya, after they fix it, the spot has a small rain drop size of cloudy area. But at least cheaper than changing a new tinting.
Honda service center suggest buy insurance for tinting as well when renew my insurance next year.

Is it wrong to put the name of the shop i went to in my previous post? should i remove it?

i think some ppl got it done and it look like normal...no cloudy or anything

Yalor.. i ask why like that.. they say cos my crack too deep.
And also i waited about 2 months to repair it la cos i was overseas.

They will drill your windscreen, but not drill thru. Normally windscreen got 2 glass attached together, they only drill gently, so only outside one is affected, your tinted inner windscreen wont get any effect...
