Meanwhile we drove 300 miles today in my husband's vehicle. While it gets better mileage, I hate traveling in it. There is no room to put anything, the seat gives me a backache, and it's got the seatbelts that tighten as much as possible until your are strangling. On the bright side, he has a good sound system in it.

Sunday we'll drive home and Monday the Safelite guys will show up to replace the windshield. My truck won't move until they are ready to start.

Someone will come up with the "official" response (which probably is to replace it)... hlthe2b Jan 2013 #1

If you live in Florida and have FL insurance, the replacement is free. Baitball Blogger Jan 2013 #2

That's not the problem - replacement is scheduled csziggy Jan 2013 #5

You are probably okay because you did the due diligence. Baitball Blogger Jan 2013 #7

We've marked the end of the crack csziggy Jan 2013 #10

Yes, I miss that insurance benefit when I lived in Florida. RebelOne Jan 2013 #17

I drove with a crack that size for years dr.strangelove Jan 2013 #3

I may need to drive the truck as much as possible locally csziggy Jan 2013 #8

If it grows, you are making the right call dr.strangelove Jan 2013 #11
