Frist ding on the LD March 23, 2017, 05:51:15 pm Well I am sure everyone can relate to that first scratch or ding on a new vehicle. After taking possession of our brand new LD just over the border in Arizona, with about 216 miles on the odometer. We picked up a nice rock chip on the windshield that couldn't be anymore perfect in my line of vision. When my wife herd it hit the windshield, she turned to me and said " well we got that one out of the way pretty fast " At that point it would take a whole lot more than a chipped windshield to chisel the smiles off our faces knowing what our future vacations are going to be like in our new rig. Cheers to the first ding or scratch. 10 Likes

I suppose the benefit of buying used it that we didn't have to weather the First Ding Storm. I must confess that I would not be cheerful.
Re: Frist ding on the LD Reply #4 – March 23, 2017, 06:56:06 pm That's the very reason I carry 100% glass coverage on my insurance. So far I've had 3 new windshields installed for free.
Re: Frist ding on the LD Reply #5 – March 23, 2017, 08:50:28 pm A chip repair is a $50 item.If it cannot be repaired, most insurance companies will replace a windshield without you paying the deductible. They see it as a safety item.Enjoy your travels.Ed.With more than a few rock chips over the years.
