Cracked windshield with heads up display - what to expect?
About how much should I expect to pay? My comprehensive insurance has a $500 deductible. Do I need oem glass for the heads up display?

I had to go oem when mine cracked about 18 months ago. Paid my deductible and no change to my annual insurance. Glass was around $2kCAD.

Since insurance is paying, request the OEM, especially if you also have rain sensor, and triply so if you also have the front camera used for auto-high-beam and collision warning. If for no other reason, problems with those systems can't be blamed on the non-OEM windshield.

I bought the windshield insurance at time of purchase of my '15 X35i with HUD and no lane departure camera... Just had it replace due to a small rock chip that developed into a foot long crack over a period of time. Had it replaced two days ago with OEM glass here in Houston... I had a $0 deductible.. had I not had insurance the bill would have been $929.33
HUD works fine as before, no issues |

BTW, I always get the $99 deductible on my comprehensive insurance; it's only like $25 more for our four cars, and we ALWAYS have a claim each year. Last edited by dreaming440i; 01-09-2017 at 12:03 PM.. |

When mine was replaced last summer, the shop said the only option for the X3 with HUD was the OEM glass. Dont accept anything other than OEM.

Today, I took my 2016 X3 3.5i to get my dash cam and radar detector hard wired. Got a call in the afternoon, saying that after they took the A Pillar cover off a spider crack "developed". Net: They ordered a new windshield from BMW and Safelite will install it. Good comments here about making sure HUD is aligned, etc. fun, fun!
