    #####, so you just got a "chip" in the new one? Maybe you can get it fixed under warranty from the installer, for substandard glass. Just a thought.

    Did you get his info, to see if the company would pay for it? I asked wife the same thing, but of course, she did not. In your case, would've come in handy...!

    He would just deny it. And of course wouldn't you as well, if some guy wanted you to pay for his windshield.
    it also happened in Canada and I was in tight delivery appt.

    Wow... sorry, man.... that explains it. Especially away from home... yeah.

    As to would I deny it? ..... Well, no, I couldn't. I had a hardened piece of asphalt fly off my hose rack because we "swap" trailers with Shelly Co.. and it was one of theirs.... somebody didn't have a bucket. I should've pretripped for the slop.... Kinda thought I did, but.....not really.

    My boss and Shelly Co. split the cost; it was a $350.00 bill; the chunk of "street" hit a Plumber's truck. Didn't shatter, but sure was gonna spider.

    He was understanding, as a "business man" himself... could've been worse. I feel ya, man.
