Options For A Jeep Replacement Window
We like to think that when we take a loan out for a brand new Jeep, that the Jeep will maintain its showroom condition until the day we decide to trade it in for a newer model. If we're lucky we won't have a single incident while the Jeep is in our possession. However the sad truth is that things go happen, we skid on a patch of black ice and run into a tree, or we accidently scrape the side of the Jeep against the mailbox, or we're driving behind a semi-truck that throws a large rock and cracks the Jeep's windshield. The Jeep's body damage is going to require you taking the Jeep to a body shop and having them repair the damage. The cracked windshield is either going to need to be repaired or require a Jeep replacement window.
Insuring The Windshield
You already know that in order to legally drive your Jeep you have to have it insured, but you do get a choice in the type of insurance you have on the Jeep. If you have full comprehensive coverage on the Jeep the best thing you can do when a Jeep replacement window is required is to take it to a shop that specializes in glass repair and replacement. The shop employees will make sure that the Jeep replacement window is properly installed. Once the Jeep replacement window is in place the company will charge your insurance company and you will be able to put the whole situation behind you. The only time you will have to consider the cost of the Jeep replacement window is if you have to pay a deductable.
Repairing The Window
Lots of times the damage done to window by a thrown rock or low flying bird is not bad enough to justify a Jeep replacement window. If you take it to a glass repair shop they will be able to fix the glass in such a way that the original damage is invisible. Repairing the damaged window is usually less expensive then the Jeep replacement window. If the crack or chip is directly in the drivers line of vision, many glass repair shops will insist on a Jeep replacement window.
Replacing The Window By Yourself
If you do not have comprehensive insurance on your Jeep or your deductable is more then the cost of the Jeep replacement window, you might be able to save some money by installing the Jeep replacement window by yourself. Replacing the window is a chore that requires two people. It is best if at least one of the people replacing the window has previous experience.
