I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 crew cab and have had 3 chips in my windshield. I live in the country but travel all blacktop roads. My 2010 GMC never had an chips even though I know rocks had hit it.

 

I've spent $100 fixing the chips and I don't want to spend anymore. I don't want to replace my windshield if it's just going to chip again.

 

Has anybody had any chips, a lot of chips, and abnormal amount of chips? I'm wondering if my windshield might be defective.

Change your comprehensive insurance deductible to $50. Doesn't go against you and it's pretty cheap fix for a replacement windshield.

Must have got it , on my way to work the other day , it was still dark and i didn't notice it to i got off work and drove out off the parking garage at work. Im just going to deal with it to I'm out of idea's for mods. I've 20,000 miles i new something hit me when it happened it was a loud hit. Thought the truck took it great to i got off work and it started to spread. By spring i may get a new 1.

i got a big stone chip dead center on mine from a gravel truck on the highway. that sucker was loud too, i was on the phone and the person on the line heard it.

dealership called in a glass repair guy because they said it was too bad for them to fix. they filled it, its still very visible but they said it shouldnt spread. no charge.

 

ill be getting new glass next summer. im fairly sure its the angle of the windshield that makes the impacts hit harder.

Yeah, they layer it back further.

 

Windshields chip, life goes on.

 

My 08 went thru three and the fourth has two stars in it.

comprehensive covers chipped windshield you got while driving? not quite sure about that...atleast my insurance (AAA), any damage done to vehicle while you are driving it is considered collision :nonod:

I have "full glass" coverage. Repairs or replacements, no charge. My last truck had 4 different windshields. My new truck has only had one stone actually make a mark, but only I can see it because I seen it hit and know where to look.

 

I have had hundreds of those simulated rock hits on the windshield though. That is definitely coming from the plastic around the radio knobs, I have actually felt it with my hand on it.

Bought my truck less than 48 hours ago, less than 100 miles on it and the first stone that hit it chipped the windshield. It was a very small stone, barely made a noise. . . Really disappointed something this minimal would cause a chip.

hmm.... My window was cracked the day after I bought the truck.

New GM factory window is on order. Now, I wonder if I should have not ordered a GM window.

 

A rock hitting your car is comprehensive, like a deer hitting your car.

Its not collision. You did not hit the rock and you did not hit the deer.

 

If you word it wrong... If you call your agent and say I hit a rock or I hit a deer

it is collision and goes against you.

 

I know this... as I said I had a rock hit my window. And I had a jack rabbit hit

my wife's car. Did $2500 damage. Insurance covered them both as comprehensive.

I am coming to the conclusion that there is something more to this, I am seeing several threads on different forums on the same thing, almost makes me think GM cheapened up the windshield to save a few bucks.

 

My wife has a Volvo, I had a rock hit the windshield so hard today that I ducked as I thought it was coming through, not even a scratch and that windshield is very laid back.

The cars generally have a more laid back design, and trucks more upright. Angle of deflection for the rocks usually determine chips/cracks, or ricochet. My last truck had 4 windshields put in it, and had two pock marks in the last one.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
