Rock hit my rear roof glass yesterday and sounded like a gun shot. What are the chances this star will expand? Anyone know the cost to replace rear roof panel out of pocket?

How big is it? They might be able to fill it with resin to stop expansion if not bigger than a dollar bill... but you need to have them look at is ASAP.

About the size of a pickle (nickle*). Calling USAA to see if they can send someone to try to fill with resin.

So I just noticed auto correct changed my last post from "about the size of a nickle" to pickle. Which is hilarious. Who uses a pickle as a standard of measurement? :D

Update on the glass - they were unable to fill with resin due to the proximity to the edge. The suction cup didn't have a full seal. The tech mentioned that the star would probably end up expanding once we have big temperature swings. Does anyone know if I would get an OEM replacement or are there already aftermarket copies that I would have to use for replacement?
