Hey dudes,

Come to Canada for a day!

I too hade a stone chip from a friendly dump truck passing me coming the other direction and thru a golf ball sized meteorite at my windshield one day. I thought i was gonna give birth to a small chicken it shocked me so much. Damn those dual wheeled trucks.

Needless to say the windshield did the job and keep the meteor out of the passenger compartment but left a friggin huge dent in the glass.

I took it to "Apple Auto Glass" here in Windsor and they actually asked me if I wanted the factory original glass and or a generic F150 glass replacement. I obviously told him give me the deluxe version and their policy is to confirm with the insurance company first before replacement.

He called my insurance rep and told him the particulars. They authorized the factory original glass without a question. The glass guy told me $875.00 + taxes (13%) here in Ontario.

He ordered in the glass, took off the original orange HD sticker under the rear view mirror, as well as the sticker from the Atlanta Assembly plant in the lower right corner and re-installed them onto the new glass as well. Had a great experience with them and it only cost me $100.00 deductable going thru the insurance claim.

So hopefully your insurance guys are as good as mine... it sometimes pays to use a reputable company to do business with.

Cheers to all.... love the truck. Crap winter is coming! Damn. Nighty Night for 6 months.
