My car has a cracked windshield (a stone hit it), it does not effect my driving in any sense. It's just estechically unpleasing. I have to get my car inspected this month. Do you think it will pass? Does anyone know about how much it should cost to replace?

Cost depends on the car, but usually less than $300 to replace.
If you have comprehensive insurance, it is just the deductible cost. If you don't, just call around and get best price.
However, if it is a small crack, some body shops/windshield repair places, can just inject a clear glue into the hole and stop it from cracking out any further, a very inexpensive fix.
However, the integrity of the windshield has been compromised.
A cracked windshield is not as strong. If something hits it again, it could bust out. Try to get it fixed. It's a safety hazard for the driver and you may not get an inspection sticker for that.

If it is a small chip from a stone, just call your insurance company. tell them a truck tossed a stone onto the windshield. Most of the times the insurance company will send someone to your home or job and repair it for free. But they usually run about $30 for a small crack/chip. As long as it has not gone all the way through both sides of the glass and no more than than maybe an inch in diameter.
good luck

In Australia you can get a company called Novus to come out to where you are and fix the stone crack. It costs roughly $80 Australian and you cannot tell that the chip was even there. You should have some sort of equivalent company where you are. Just look in the phone book

chilly climate (or warm) will probable reason the crack to advance in length. you mustn't get better than one crack though. you would no longer be able to manage to pay for a complete new windshield on your man or woman, yet many coverage agencies will replace the glass for loose or with in hardship-free words the deductible if the windshield cracks. Cracks are referred to as runners, and also you may want to get them "fastened" so that they offer up starting to be for the era of your windshield for better or less $50, notwithstanding it will be better effective basically to pay your deductible and get an entire new piece of glass. If I were you, i might want to call your coverage corporation and word in the journey that they are going to hide a substitute easily or minus the deductible. some states require it to be loose, so that you may want to success out. both way, you're paying lower than you may want to for a complete new piece of glass. overlaying the windshield gained't ward off the crack from starting to be when you consider that its ambient temperature that's cracking it, no longer some thing resting on the glass.

It should pass inspection unless it obstructs view. Most of the time just one split or crack won't matter. Cost depends on make and model. It could be alittle expensive.

$200 in my state.......usually from following too close--or the car in front keeps siding to shoulder--or behind gravel truck-no tarp- which is against law---but never cited!
