Star,
I don't know what you have there, have you tried some window cleaner and see if it goes away? I still don't know what happened with my old windshield. I didn't do or use anything different on this car. I believe that lexus windshield is softer; therefore, it chips & scratches easier than others.

 

no idea. its scratches. Water doesnt bead in that area either. I put rain-x there. it sorta acts like a patch looks ok now, but I know its there still.

 

Actually, most don't, at least in the states I've lived in. I've been with more than ten insurance companies in the last 15 years and I've never had one offer glass coverage. I'm only aware of one company that does - GEICO. I think this also depends on the state you're in.

I keep my comprehensive deductible at $100 precisely because there's no separate glass coverage. Learned my lesson after having to pay for two $500 windshields in a span of a month (two different cars).

 

I have been with Amica insurance company for more than 10 years. I just had my windshield replaced. The total bill was 1400, and they paid for the whole thing. I have 0 deductible for comprehensive and 250 for collision. Good company if you are looking into a new ins. policy.

 

After a rock hit my windshield while on the freeway the other day, I decided to examine my windshield more closely. After only a few seconds, I found 4 or 5 light surface scratches right over the driver's side!!! I tried cleaning it over and over, thinking that it was just residue, but it was in fact a scratch. It's not deep enough where I catch my fingernail in it. Is there anyway for me to buff it out? What are some recommended polishing/buffing compounds? Thanks.

 

If it doesn't come off with any glass cleaner, you can't get it off. Mine were in the direct line of sight and I had it replaced under comprehensive insurance. I had tried 2 separate glass shops and they both stated either live with it, or have it replaced. Sorry!

 

Well, I'll have the dealership check it out next week. If they can't do anything about it, my insurance agent will be getting a call. Thanks GreatSmile.

 

I've got several small chips on my windshield and one on the front passenger window. Not sure if it's just our windshields and windows, but the durability doesn't seem too good.

 

I already have a small chip on my windshield. And this is my second one!
