Lets talk about auto insurance coverage for auto glass repair and windshield replacement. If you are with complete glass coverage they have to replace it but the thing that I am going to do is to throw a rock at it and be certain that there is a spider crack and that they will have to replace it.

This have to be done as the last step, tell them that a truck kicked up some rock on the highway and made damage to your windshield. This can be referred to as insurance fraud. You may or may not escape with it but this is still a fraud.

If you know this to your insurance company, it will get coverage dropped and make it difficult, or very expensive, to acquire a new insurance. I will not recommend to intentionally cracking the glass of your windshield.

This is referred as ‘wear and tear’ and is never covered by the insurance companies, or is actually referred as an accident or occurrence that is covered by the insurance companies.

You have to call and ask whether your policy covers that. And I do not consider that coverage will replace a windshield just because it is old. There have to be some claims related event. And keep in mind that there will be a deductible.

You have to ask the glass company whether they will waive or reduce that before scheduling a repair. You have to shop around if they are not going to work with you about reducing the deductible.
