My windshield is badly cracked and I'm curious if there is any reason not to use one of the windshield services in the area. I believe this will be covered by my insurance.

I'm 100% certain I could do it myself (I have the tech tips 700), it just doesn't seem to make sense.
DIY: $30 clips $100 + tons of miles for a windshield $10 butyl tape Total $140 + gas + 1/2 day in driving + install time Installer: $215 at my house. If I could find a cheap used windshield I'd be all over it. |
