Many on the forums have had to pay about $1500. The extra expense being the required re-alignment of the included safety auto-braking sensors at the top-center of the glass.
You are correct. Totally forgot that they mentioned that as well. Thus, the extra windshield insurance is worth it!! UGH.
I'm jealous. Mine took 4 weeks!!
Well I got a rock in under 1000 miles on the ODO. On a city street doing 30 with a little Honda about 10 yards ahead. Dead center of driver’s side but high enough to be only a little annoying. Got it fixed at Novus the next day for $100. They did a poor job, left 1/4 of the divot infilled. But I was in a hurry to leave so didn’t complain, figuring I’d just live with it. Then it cracked today in 2 opposing directions, about 7” total. I called Novus and they said sorry, no warranty on the repair; but they would credit it to a new windshield install. (Nice business model.) Novus quoted just under $1000 (coincidence?) for glass, install, calibration, and tax, and a 7-10 day wait for the glass. I’m in Seattle. Will be driving east over the mountains into the winter to go hunting later this week and would love the glass to be fixed pronto so the crack doesn’t become catastrophic. (In a former life I worked in spares and repairs for the military and am floored that Ford didn’t send a spare windshield to the dealer with every Bronco delivered.) Can I do better?
I'm in the same boat. I caught a rock at the very top edge of the windshield, which caused a ~6" crack to form. It slowly grew to about 12" over time, but this morning it decided to just take off and run all the way across the windshield, horizontally. I went ahead and scheduled to have my recall fixed, expecting that they'll just have to replace the whole windshield anyway due to the fact that it likely won't stay together upon removal. The odds of them pre-ordering a windshield for me are at nearly 0%, but I told them I have to have a loaner and can wait on dropping it off until one is available.
