My luck finally ran out. Suspect a rock from a semi struck the right side of the windshield. Searched the threads re: windshield repair/replacement but have some questions:
1. I'm guessing this one needs a replacement? Initially it caused a 1 inch starburst crater which I took a photo of when I got home. In the time it took for me to park, go in my garage and get leftover windshield sealant, the crater cracked in two directions, about 10 inches in length total. One end gets close to the edge of the windshield.
2. I have Ameriprise through Costco, in California. Submitted a claim. I spoke to them last year about about glass coverage and they told me it's covered through Comprehensive. I have a $250 deductible. I figure the claim's worth it as it shouldn't affect the premium?
3. Is part number 1105964-00-B still the good "non ghosting" windshield? I read this from this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thr...eplaced-no-more-ghosting.103541/#post-2446019. I've had ghosting since day 1 but didn't care enough to bother the SC. I also get the rainbow effect along the edges but again too busy to get to the SC.
4. Better to get a loaner while windshield's on order? I have an appointment this coming Tuesday. Not sure a crack this size is safe to drive with. I've only experienced small cracks with previous cars and I just sealed them myself.
5. I have a Blackvue dashcam, could possibly get the plate of the truck? Don't bother?
