  • Cracked windshield

    I obtained a nice crack in the windshield of the Miata on 280 today.
    Does anyone have any info for getting a repair or replacement?

    Yoder? You out there?

    I believe most insurance ... supposing this car is insured, you should be able to get a replacement through insurance without having to pay a deductible.

      Miata windshields are next to impossible to get out!!! They are glued in! Its better to just cut the whole windshield frame off....

          However, if for some reason you decide not to cut the windshield frame out, and you truly want to replace it with a new windshield, I would call Safelite. I used them when I replaced the one in my e30. They actually had the windshield in stock and came out that afternoon to my house and replaced it. They will meet you wherever and replace it for you and deal with the insurance.

            Most insurances cover CHIP REPAIR 100% ... not windshield replacement. Replacement is usually under your comprehensive coverage. If the crack is "smaller than a dollar bill" it will usually be covered without a deductible.
