Did your nerves make this happen?

Nope, just a random rock on the freeway

I think they just mean you’re extra careful with the car since it’s new. Makes sense, I’d feel the same way.

Well, the crack looks deep enough to worry about.

Whoosh

Get it fixed fast before it turns into a bigger headache.

Think this is a small patch job or full replacement? Someone said since it has a HUD, it might be $1500.

Not an expert, but I’ve had small cracks fixed with a patch. Insurance covered it where I live. Yours looks bigger though, so I’d check with a repair shop ASAP.

Probably the whole glass. If you have comprehensive insurance, your deductible is all you’d need to pay.

@Isaac
If it’s in the corner like that, a patch won’t work.

Happens to everyone… every car I’ve had got a cracked windshield in the first year.

Same here, last two cars both got hit early on.

Since you have a HUD, you’ll need OEM glass. Third-party ones mess up the reflection, even if they say they’re HUD-compatible.

Would one of those aftermarket HUD films fix the reflection issue? Might look weird from outside, but could work.

@zack
Honestly, I’m not even sure the HUD is that useful. It doesn’t show directions because I don’t use built-in navigation, and I’ve only had the car for four days. I was still messing with the settings when this happened.

How much extra is OEM? If it’s too pricey, I might just skip the HUD. It’s already kinda blurry unless I close one eye.

@Yoon
Did you try adjusting the HUD in the car settings? Mine was blurry until I tweaked it.

@Yoon
OEM HUD windshields run anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000. Pricey, but probably worth it.
