Windshield Crack

[Veeresh]

Hi Everybody

 

I was up in Malaysia (Penang) for a long Holiday. To my surprise the whether for extreme hot and without rain thru out my stay there.

 

Anywhere, my car was park under a hot shine sun just outside the chalet for hours and around 3 plus , we drove into a car wash and as the guys poured water on the car , the windshield just cracked form the top center of the from body to almost the center of the screen. I was using the Aircon at 22 Degree.

 

S? Moto?? (The Agent) ask to claim insurance but I think design or the material is not catered for Asian Whether.

 

What Should I do ..? Just claim insurance Or Make Volvo investigates if the material used is not up to standard .... . Did anybody had this experience before ?

 

Please advise ...

Most likely you've hit onto some pebble on NSHW, look for the point of impact - might be tiny.

Hi Bro, hve nt collect my car, now arranging for insurance..so kinda of puzzle why the $100 excess for windscreen. In house insurer is Newstate Stenhouse representing EQ insurance.

IF SM allow you to get your own insurance then get one without excess lah ..... but if they don't allow, just take it loh. Make sure within 1st year nothing happens to your windscreen, then 2nd year you can get your own preferred insurance lah ....

some insurance companies have to pay excess, normally is $100. AIG has to pay but AXA dont

Ok thanks for all the reply. SC says can get yr own insurance (must allow repair at agent i.e. SM Motor). Will shop for one myself then.

If it's a small crack but visible, best to have them repaired

It is a small old thread. Best to have it untouched
