cracked rear window

[djomlas]

that funny, but clever idea.
i bet you can come up with something more creative then that to get the whole top replaced

I've decided to try this once my plastic window breaks or becomes unusable.

If the rest of your top is in good condition, this option is worth considering.

You are correct in that the insurance company won't raise your rates over that claim, but they will hold the claim against you. Most likely if you have to file another claim, they will use the two claims to non-renew your insurance at renewal time. For a few companies, they would drop you over just the one claim.

Also I got a few prices yesterday. To sew in a new window it was anywhere from $450 - $650. One place had bumped their head, they wanted $995 to sew in a window. I could go with the GAHH top from $1595-1750.

That's pretty crapy to drop someone over a few hundred dollars. I could understand if it were a couple of thousand. I've had several claims over the years and never any problems. I use Geico. My brother totaled his car and that was his only claim in 10 years and they did drop him. He used Allstate. So I think it has to do with the amount of damage(cost) on the claims.

The total dollar amount does come into play, but I have seen a few companies drop people that had two claims and the total dollar amount was only about $4000-5000 for both.
