Windshield replacement
I was wondering if anyone got their windshield replaced yet? I'm in the middle of getting mine replaced due to a stone chip (about size of a half-dollar). I got the stone chip about a week and a half ago. It took about a week to get the windshield in the glass shop from Honda. Then when they got to my place of work to replace it, they said they need to buy new molding for as well. And they also said this will be their first time putting in a windshield one for the Honda Fit. I guess I'll experiment #1 for them. They are finally replacing it this Friday with no more problems I hope!!!

Hey Ivan,
Very sorry to hear about your windshield! On top of all the other problems we discussed in our PM's, you sure don't need this one. It sounds like you will also need some body shop work in addition to the windshield. Good luck! Dave |

It took about a week to get into the local glass shop. It not made by Honda. It was made by Pinkerton. It looks exactly like the old one. I had a $200 deductible formthe new windshield. Hope this helps.

Needing a name for windshield replacement please
I'm actually looking to get my windshield replaced soon. I had a rock smack into my windshield two weeks ago. The damage was not even the size of a quarter, and I had it filled. Well, now the crack is spreading and it needs to be replaced ASAP! Does anyone know of a good windshield repair place that will use the Honda Nepon (spelling?) glass and also replace the gasket instead of the cocking?
I'm going to be picky because my 2007 is only a year old and I'd like it to still appear as such. Thanks in advance! |

Mine was replaced a few days ago. No noise or leaks..... yet.
I had 2 chips in mine. |
Does anyone know the actual cost?
I am thinking about buying glass insurance if the windshield is pricey. |

Here is their website address! Auto Glass Repair Orange County: Auto Windshield Repair or Replacement - Orange County All Star Glass Store Locations They actually order the molding from the car manufacturer, and use similar class that the fit already comes with from the factory! Research does pay off! |

Call your insurance company. Its illegal to have a cracked/chipped windshield.
I know in FL if you have full coverage its free. I paid nothing and had it done while I was working. However; if its chipped/cracked the insurance company will push for a repair as its cheap as hell. Ive seen a windshield repaired in front of me. The chip/crack is 100% just as noticeable. Took a few weeks for mine to get replaced because Honda didnt have the OEM window trim around the top in stock. |
Almost every windshield is now installed with adhesive (caulking) including the Jazz/Fit. What would you like them to replace it with??? And why would it be better???

I had to call a bunch of places and ask if they replaced the molding or if they did the caulking. Most places do use the caulking, but I was able to finally fins a space that would indeed replace the molding. They ordered everything from Honda. Just check online for places in the area and ask your Honda dealer who they recommend to repair their windshields. |
I got some little dinky nicks in the windshield on the original i replaced a year ago. I hope they don't spread and become spider cracks.

I just had mine replaced by Diamond auto glass. Great work, and the dash doesn't rattle anymore!
$286 inc. Tax Honda wanted over $700. Funny thing..Diamond is contracted to go to Honda to replace/repair. Stealership!!! |
