take it back....also, if you would have gotten the time, trucking company, and licence or truck number the trucking company is liable for you windshield. I see companies putting not resmponsible for damage to other vehicles stickers on the trailers. This is BS.

Then don't drive a low car behind a big *** truck. I don't think the driver can avoid every sing pebble and rock on the road, but you can usually avoid the truck most of the time... or at least keep your distance. As for the windshield, definitely take it back ASAP, before they can call it a scratch on your part.

The truck wasn't an 18 wheeler. It was a big extended cab pickup truck. Very common around here along w/SUVs.

F--K the dealer, I had mine replaced with factory glass for an independant shop and it was $305, done at my house.

Take her back ASAP or they will claim it
happened after you left the stealership.
Scratches weaken the surface and its
now defective as well as being an eyesore.

I took it in to the dealer this morning and showed them the scratches. They said they are going to have their "glass supplier" come out and look at it. Whether they are going to try and repair the scratches, put an entirely new windshield in, or attempt to blame this on me I don't know yet.

Should hear back sometime this morning. If they attempt to blame this on me I am going to be absolutely furious. Also, if they make repairs and I'm not happy with the results I will insist on a new windshield. If they won't comply with that then I am calling my insurance agent and attempt to get them to stop payment on the windshield.

I just replaced my front windshield on my '06 GT due to a "bullseye" right in my line of sight. It cost me $265 installed for thegenuine Ford Carlite glass with the running pony.

The dealer didn't actuallyreplace your glass, theysubcontracted it outto amobile glassinstaller. You could have done the same thing and saved yourself quite a chunk of change.

For as much as it cost that windshield should have been *perfect*.
