[W126 Coupe] Windshields

[Ernie Stephens]

Good point Markus; I haven't checked on the premium differences lately . . .it's time to do it again as well as to check in with other carriers on their rates.

  Ernie, you may want to consider lowering your deductible to $0 for comprehensive, you might be surprised how little it adds to your policy.  That's what I did.  I don't know who you have for insurance, but I've filed a few comp claims in my life and never had an increase because of it.

    Markus, thanks for your input.
    I have very good insurance and at a very good premium ( I have 5 vehs insd and very few claims). I've learned that it is best not to file a $300 claim when you have a $250 deductible, you end up paying for it later in your renewals; and yes, comp claims are not chargeable but trust me, there are no free lunches, you end up paying for it one way or another.  If I end up with a $500 bill I will consider one of two things: I will either keep my pitted windshield  and keep my sunglasses handy or I will file a claim but either way I really do appreciate your counsel.
    Thanks again,
    Ernie

      Ernie,

      Do you not have comprehensive coverage on your insurance, or glass coverage?

      If not, and you are trying to save money, check junkyards, and other websites  such as benzworld.org<http://benzworld.org/> and peachparts.com<http://peachparts.com/>.  I know for a fact someone was parting out 3 SECs.
