Reader Question
I have a Honda Civic, 2002 and someone broken my rear windshield glass while I was parked at a football game. I called my dealer and they quoted me like $538 to replace it. I have a friend who said I might be able to find a cheaper one at the junk yard, is this an option?

Hey Samantha, ouch…that was one expensive football game! Yes, of course you should call a few junk yards in your area and see what they get for the rear windshield glass, but I have a strong feeling it will not be cheaper than an aftermarket rear windshield installed would be. I have seen many windshields removed from a junk yard, and most of the time the glass chips or cracks on the edges when they try to remove it from the vehicle.
For just a few bucks more you can get a totally new rear windshield with no cracks or chips. Get a free no obligation quote using the banner on this site and compare the rates yourself and decide.

Reader Question: I need a cheap replacement windshield for my car….2002 Honda Accord. Do these replacement type windshields offer the same safety protection as a genuine Honda replacement windshield?

Hi Chris, from what I have read, these replacement car windshields have to undergo some tough safety testing before they can be sold to the public. I am not an expert obviously, but I do not feel these replacement windshields are a safety issue. By all means ask the installer for their opinion on this matter before you install one.

Reader Question How does one repair a cracked windshield anyway? I bought some repair kit at the auto parts store the other day but it did not work like it was advertised.

Windshield Repair is a process that utilizes modern technology to repair damaged windshield glass. Unlike windshield replacement, Windshield Repair preserves the integrity of the factory seal on the windshield, making it a more cost effective solution for your customers.
Windshield repair is a process that combines modern technology and skill to fill a damaged area on a windshield with special clear adhesive resin.
The resin is then cured with an ultraviolet light. Windshield repair is much cheaper than windshield replacement. You’ll save money – $55.00 for the 1st rock chip and $30.00 for each additional rock chip on the same windshield. I DO NOT however recommend those $10 repair kits you can buy at your local auto parts store, there are professional version of the kit you can order online but they obviously cost much more.
