waldguy Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 In my limited experience with the de-icer, I found it pretty much ineffective. If my windshield goes, I'll probably instruct them to install a windshield without it, even with the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does take some time to melt snow and ice if the car has sat overnight. Maybe yours is defective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Has anyone experienced any issues with broken windshields or windshield replacement of BMW ? ? Try e90 post forum. My last two bmws never had replacements. I did have to fill a hole on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works, but so slowly as to be nearly useless on colder days. I thought it would heat faster than it does -- have to keep the scraper handy anyway.

Saberplane Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yep, bad luck and $800 800?! Check your insurance of it gets beyond a certain size and often the insurance will cover the whole thing because it is a safety issue (and s cracked windows hield seriously weakness the structural integrity of the vehicle) - when I had a broken windshield Allstate covered every penny.

ajent420 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There's so much construction debris all over the Seattle roads. Rocks flying everywhere all the time, really is annoying. I too had a broken shield in the first mo of ownership. I even recently had ANOTHER incident with a rock on I-5...left a good chunk in the lower right corner. the crack never ran, so I didn't do anything about it...but ffs Seattle, how about some sweepers or something!? /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too40gawlf Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My insurance covers mine...all I pay is a $100 deductible. Yup. My dealer's service advisor actually recommended I call USAA to get Safelite out there. It cost me $100 or $150 but the Safelite gentleman came out and in 45 minutes replaced my windshield. The replacement windshield has the same markings as the OEM and functions exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
