If not, what is the going rate on a new windshield installed?

Thanks!
Yes, you can rub those chips out with a BRICK!

Sorry one or two small chips, there is a fix. But if you have that hit with a shotgun look, time to replace.

I never thought of using a brick. Great idea!

yeah but you pay for that type of coverage in your car insurance premiums. You either pay about $10 a month for the comp coverage or you pay $200 when its time to finally replace your JKs cracked windshield.
