Solved rock vs glass

[Mbrooks420]

I've had several Safelight repairs, and the insurance paid for the entire repair (and it was only $50 to the insurance co.- no deductible for the repair, but there would have been for a replacement of the entire windshield). The repairs are next to invisible, even if in your direct line of sight. There is a limit as to how much damage can be repaired, and Safelight will tell you if it can be done.

If the crack has spread to an edge of the windshield, I'm afraid you are done. Safelight uses a vacuum to draw the air out from between the laminates, and fills the voids with a clear resin (the resin has the same refractive index as the glass, that's why most of the damage becomes invisible). If the crack reaches the edge, you cannot make a good vacuum, that is why it is best to get it fixed EARLY.

You did read the thread that it wasn’t repairable and got replaced, right?

Still useful info for the rest of us! Who hasn't had a windshield needing repair, over the years?

It’s tiresome when people have no time to read the thread, but they have plenty of time to post the same thing that’s been posted 50 times, and don’t even realize the issue has already been completely resolved and settled.

Safe-Lite just told me how to get the mirror mount off the windshield (pic below) that is used in many departments for a dash cam.
Take a heat gun and use it on the inside on the metal but not too close. Use a pair of pliers and start to wiggle it right to left. When it starts getting easy then see if you can do at least a quarter turn with it. At that point you should be able to just pull it off. The rest of the adhesive should come off with a shot of WD-40 and 1/2 hour later a razor blade.

No... That really happens here? LOL
