    Same thing happened to me today; rock from a passing pickup truck hit my windshield, made a star on the glass. By the time I got home, the star had developed two eight-inch wings. So to a glass shop next week...

    First off check your insurance policy and upgrade it to OEM parts. I did for only $35 more per year.
    Second, don't go with the company the insurance company recommends. They will get the cheapest guy who will do a bad job. I've been there done that.
    Third, stick with the big name glass companies . Like Phillps ect.
    Fourth, the company the dealership uses should be ok. They wouldn't keep using them if they did a bad job.
    Call the company direct , you might get a good deal from them.

    When it happens to me, I don't want Toyota OEM. They don't tint the strip above the mirror at the top. In my CTS, I used to hide my Sunpass in the tinted area, and it couldn't be seen from the outside.
