Hope you are all well respected sir's. That particular crack was repaired to that extent only as I posted in the images above. As my state has great roads so got a rock chip again. Trust me within the past one month almost everyone got a rock chip in my locality. WE is my city doesn't do crack repair at all. They will always tell the customer to get the windshield replaced no matter what. If someone presses them to repair it, they will quote around 4-5k but will confuse the customer saying that there is no guarantee of the outcome.
Few things-
1. When we get the windshield replaced the ncb becomes zero. The ncb helps in getting the discount only while renewing a policy, right? 10% ncb means 10% discount and 20% means 20% off and so on. Is that correct?
2. Those glass ppf's by 3m and other companies which can be installed both on the interior and exterior glass, do they help in lessening the impact of rock chips? The interior one's are used to combat the uv rays afaik.
3. Has anyone taken multiple windshield claims in a year?
4. Is there any cheap alternative for Permatex windshield repair kit? There is only one seller who's selling it online and the price is way too high considering it is for one time use only. Anyone used the rain-x kit?
Now I am seriously considering the windshield replacement. The service centre is quoting us 25k including gst and labour. But they are marking up the price I am sure as they are the only service centre for Skoda here. WE is not quoting any price. They, for reasons unknown, are telling us to take a claim as it will be covered in insurance. We will have to pay around 4k inspite of the fact that insurance is there in the name of file charges and mandatory sanitization. Anyone knows how much is the windshield cost for an octavia?
@bhvm sir have you made any video about this topic?
