do you have windshield coverage in your policy? is there a deductible?

i don't understand your question, are you saying the insurance company has told you to use an aftermarket replacement? some aftermarket windshields won't allow the rain sensor for the wipers to work properly i have been told.

i had my windshield replaced at the dealer by the windshield company that does the dealer's work. dropped the car off for service and windshield was replaced by the end of the day. $100 deductible and no issues after several years.

call the dealer to see who they use for replacements.
