Actually, that could be bad advice depending on the type of insurance the OP has. Most insurance company don't provide coverage for glass unless you subscribe and pay separately for that coverage. Some companies cover it automatically. I'd FIRST check with the insurance company to see if it is covered and then decide how to replace it.
Gee, I feel lucky. 11 cars in 60 years, 800,000 + miles and never had a windshield replaced !
That's not what my neighbor says (works at Safelite here in Reno). His experience with repairing Tesla glass says that most all of the hits come below the tint line, not the extra 30-40% more glass on top. He thinks hits have more to do with a combination of issues such as how close people drive to cars in front of them and condition of the roads where people drive.
I'm talking about the windshield, not the glass roof. The windshield is larger than other.cars.
Yes, I understand. That is what my Window installer neighbor is talking about. his point is that repairs aren't due to the larger windshield. It is because of the roads and people traveling too close. I suppose he should know since he does that job every day
