FWD glass cracked - worth replacing now or ok to wait?

[pereiks]

Well, have to admit it finally happened to me. Rolled too much forward inside the garage and hit overhanging storage when opened FWDs.

From the photos, what does forum think: does it need urgent replacement or ok to wait? Also what's the current replacement price? Worth doing it through insurance?

There's a thread around DIY on here somewhere. If you can source the glass w/ good seals, it didn't look to be too difficult. The key thing is that the seals are integrated to the glass, so you can't change one w/o the other (you may already know this, apologies).

It comes down to your insurance policy and whether you're willing to put the time into sourcing the glass to DIY.

I would personally start by testing for leaks w/ a little bit of water. If it leaks right away, then I would get it fixed quickly. If not, then some good taping might prolong the replacement a little. Regardless, I would want it cared for as quickly as I was able while keeping my out of pocket reasonable.

Thanks, that what I was thinking as well. I don't have much experience with buying used parts for Tesla, so asked Tesla service about replacement, the current price is $1140 per glass, which seems rather reasonable to me, knowing all the concerns with used parts around deteriorating seals, so I went with the usual method. So far the crack is water proof but it's chipping already, so I'm really uncomfortable leaving it as-is for a long period.

Going to get a rubber stopper in garage to avoid this in the future.
