Just returned from 2,600 mile trip in our 2002 Prius (from Fort Worth to Las Vegas and return). On the trip, a chunk of gravel hit the lower portion of our windshield on the passenger side. Got to watch a three inch crack grow into a 12 inch one as we drove. Wife immediately put tape on the crack inside and our when it happened. Had been told that would help preven its expanding. It didn't!
Called Toyota dealer for estimate re glass replacement. Toyota price: $650.00 for the job! Wow! Am now checking other sources. Have found Toyota dealers to differ on prices in the past....not to mention that my insurance has a $500.00 deductible for glass breakage!
Suggestions?
On this trip, we were constantly at 75-80mph on cruise control at altitudes to 6,000 feet. Temperatures often exceeded 110 F in Las Vegas. Car performed perfectly. Got me worried in the mountains once when the battery appeared almost drained, but tech on the phone said not to worry as long as "trouble" lights didn't come on.
