Bakit nabasag? Definitely your first stop is the dealer...

Sorry if this question is very basic but, don't you have insurance?

This windshield is more likely only available at Honda casas and it costs a whole lot. My estimate is in the 20k or whereabouts.

i'm sorry, but may i ask, why would you settle sa non-CASA windshield if covered naman ng warranty? is it the participation fee percentage? kahit 10% pa participation fee, 2K lang yun. Honda supplied and installed pa. sorry, not making sense to me.

hope the dog is alright.

Sa mga nag message dito pakibasa muna yung main topic, para hindi magmukhang tanga sa paningin ng iba "Saan po makkabili ng murang windshield?" hindi nman "Mas ok ba pagawa sa casa o sa labas?" PEACE ;)

Buyer beware lang. Two main factors affects windshield price: Safety and optical clarity.

Safety is self-explanatory since you'd want a front windshield that is laminated instead of tempered. In the event of an accident, laminated glass will tend to hold the broken glass together. On the other hand, tempered glass breaks up into tiny cubes and may still pose a hazard to front passengers, particularly the eyes. You wouldn't want the latter kind for a front windshield.

For optical clarity, it is measured in "AS[number]". The excerpt below best describes it:

The AS number stands for American Standard, and is "AS" (or "American Standard") followed by a number indicating the position in which the glass may be used, based on its optical quality.

AS1 is the clearest glass (at least 70% light transmission), is laminated, and can be used anywhere in a motor vehicle (typically just the windshield),

AS2 is tempered with at least 70% light transmissions, and can be used anywhere except the windshield.

AS3 can be used in certain locations in certain vehicles (and can be laminated or tempered, and has less than 70% light transmission). There are higher numbers used for other purposes, but are not normally encountered in cars. This number must be near the manufacturer's name/logo, preferably below it.
