2000 c5 cracked windshield
yesterday I was driving home and a rock or something hit my windshield and today I checked to see if it could be repaired and the fellow told me no the windshield will have to be replaced.... Has anyone had c5 windshield replaced and did you have any problems with wind noise after it was replaced? I wonder what is the cost of a new windshield, my ded is 250.00

I know in florida there is NO deductable for windshields.....Mine still has a rock sitting in it, from following a car with sticky tires too closely.

Just a guess, but I imagine you will spend all of your deductable.

I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back. I also live in Florida so there was no deductible. I asked the installer how much they charge, he said $928.00. He used a special tool that put down a very thick bead of goober so I doubt that it will leak. You can bet I was right by his side through it all.

My deductible is $100 and my insurance company was charged about $1500 for a HUD version. However, a former coworker had his replaced for $300, since he didn't want to go through his insurance. (I'm not sure why, unless he had a high deductible.)
Not only did my new windshield not leak, but the whole interior smelled like it was brand new again! Make sure you have it done at home so that you can let it sit for a day or two. For this same reason, I recommend that you do NOT have it done at work; too many installers fail to tell their customers that they should not drive the car for a minimun amount of time.

Call your insurance company. Mine (USAA) sends a little man out to fix small nicks so that they dont grow into a bigger crack. If it is a big deal, they will replace it. The people your insurance company recommends are pretty good and will normally come to you at home or office.

Looks like the cost of a windshield can vary widely. I've always heard they were about $1200, but apparently better deals can be had.
