cracked windshield

[mtdriver]

I went for a run on Sunday, caught a rock in the top center of the windshield and now have a crack spreading across the passenger side. Has anyone replaced the hud windshield with a standard windshield? If you have, is there loss in clarity or brightness in the display? I priced windshields today and the hud version costs about 3 times more than the standard one.

That is awful.:cry

Well, you only live once- and you make money in order to sustain yourself. I know it is simple math, but it still hurts when you pull out the check book!

I've replaced a winshield... it was $700 or so.

Sorry to hear about your screen. Does insurance cover your replacement?

Not sure how insurance works there, but here you can get windscreen cover for an additional $30 - $40 a year, and it means all glass is replaced without excess or loss of no claims bonus.

Might not help this time, but might pay to check out for the future.

Also not sure on Vette HUD & screen, but aftermarket HUD's use a film (the size of the image projected) to the inside of the standard screen, could this be an option for you?

Good Luck

Grant.

Who Knew?

I had no idea that the HUD System included a special windshield.

I installed the HUD in my 99 non-HUD Vette this spring and I cannot tell the differance between my HUD display and Remo's factory HUD. There is a guy who sells HUD kits on the CF and the issue of HUD vs. non-HUD windshieds was a question from many of the buyers (including me).
