Alright, so I'm willing to concede that my literal deaf wife likely didn't hear if a rock chipped the windshield while she was driving behind a dump truck (a piece of information she only told me last night). If that was the case, then the carwash is absolved and it is on us.
That said, they...
I installed a Viofo dashcam in my wife's Expedition. The worst part of it is in order to do the hardwire kit, you have to pull out the door trim to get to the internal fusebox. That's not really the hard part. The hard part was putting the trim back in.
In any case, it has a 4K front and 2K...
That sucks but totally glad the Maverick did its job and protected you!
We salute its sacrifice and hope you enjoy the replacement shopping process as it is a little easier to find Mavericks today compared to 2023.
Was able to confirm the glass had the wiper heater and was acoustic glass. He is currently making quick work of it. Still needs to drive it to calibrate the camera.
Yes, my insurance has coverage but deductible is set too high to matter. Given this is my first replacement windshield in 30 years, I'm willing to eat the cost out of pocket for this one. I plan to talk to insurance Agency next week to lower deductible for the Maverick and Expedition.
I asked...
This is my first broken windshield in over 30 years of driving. Part of the reason why I'm not completely torn up about it. Even at $6 a month, I'm still ahead even paying out of pocket.
That said, I plan to talk to my agent. The Expedition windshield would likely be a lot more expensive.
Weird. My radio goes back to what it was playing last. Unfortunately, if it was last playing Apple Music and I'm not quick enough to plug my phone in, it'll kick on the FM radio. I've never had it autotune to Sirius XM or even advertise it is there. None of the Escape, Maverick, Explorer, and...
The technology is stupid but the outrage is overrated. I have not heard of anyone I know having to replace their starter in almost 20 years. I mostly leave it on as I honestly am not bothered with the truck stopping its vibrating when at a traffic light. I will turn it off in certain situations...
Not a touchless but one we've used for years. Likely a rock stuck in the roller as you can still feel the glass shards where it hit. Hot water did the rest.
I'm not an expert on the air intake for the A/C, but could it be something that was just sucked in as you drove? The whole point of the filter is to filter crap in the air and I see stuff like that floating around the highway all the time.
Sad part is this was never meant to happen. Truck needed an oil change. I was going to have the dealer do it via mobile service. Wife said she'd just take it through their quick lube. While there, she said she would get it washed on the way home since it was dirty.
Alternatively, I had a...
$1,131.66 for full replacement from Safelite. The windshield and labor are only $464. $40 to recycle the glass. The rest is the recalibration of the camera. I also figured I was all-in and so I am having them go ahead and Rain-X treat it while they are here. That was only $45 so it is worth it...
