As to rates not going up for glass replacement, glass is considered a safety related item so it is in the insurance companies best interest to replace it, lest something hits your wweakend windshield and goes through, or the cracks that you refuse to pay to get replaced cause you to have a wreck they pay a lot more. It also varies by state, i pay nothing to get mine repaired or replaced, but nc folks have a deductable.

you didn't screw it up. You'll be ok. Now, if you had cloth, you would have some trouble.

There is a "crying over split milk joke" in all of this, but I don't feel like reading the entire thread to see if anyone tackled that particular subject.

So I went to the agency and informed them about this, they said we will tell the insurance but either way you should get us a police report as that is mandatory for the insruance to process any claim.
I called the police and they sent me a car who then heard my story and said "This is not a traffic accident, it should be reported as a criminal case" so they took me with them to the police station as I can file it as a criminal case to get my insurance...then the guys at the police station said they cant do that this is neither a criminal nor a traffic case I must speak to my insurance directly....then one of them said "what, if my child pisses in my car I should claim insurance!?!" They were like, get over it, or have someone remove the leather and clean the seats from inside...
But what about the airbags? I know these seats have airbags in them wouldn't that deploy the airbag and screw the seat even more?
