Wife’s 3 developed a crack in the roof. No sign of impact just a 8ish inch crack that has reached the edge of the glass so no sealing. Cost to fix …. $1792.46. There go the maintenance savings

Going to cover out of pocket and see what the hit to rates might be if I make a claim. We’re currently under market rate for our 3 cars and I’d rather not rock the boat if I don’t have to

I haven't used mine in about 40 years, so I would not hesitate to use it for something like this. To each their own, though.
