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 don't like to glue them in with urethane unless the windshield frame is welded to a cage. A co-worker had some big fat dude in his car with the top off. Big-un used the windshield frame to hoist his large ass out of the car and broke the windshield because the urethane didn't flex like butyl tape does, presumably. Test group size of 1, we didn't get the water buffalo to test a butyl taped windshield.
