Default Typical cost for new windshield??? Assaulted by police.

I was just driving through downtown houston and was stopped at a light, left hand lane. Cop walks out into the crosswalk passed my car and a couple more. No signaling or anything, just kinda standing there. Light turns green so i start to go. He runs over, pounds my hood with his hand and then smashes my windshield with his fist.
I get out and start yelling wtf you broke my windshield. He tells me i'm blocking traffic, get back in my car. I move it over and get back out to talk to him and he shuts down. Won't give me a name, badge number, nothing. So i call 911 and now i have half a dozen houston cops hanging out taking reports from both of us. ******** ended up being from Spring, picking up some extra work downtown today. So now i have to go through his dept to try to get them to do something about my windshield. HPD took my statement and his and of course his contradicts mine. But i do have a witness. Everyone behind me was like WTF!? But i only grabbed one name/number. Gotta call them and have them call both spring and houston departments with their statements.
Now i gotta go get a new windshield
Merry effing christmas.

Obviously some sort of aggression/anger management issue.

I assume this is through any old glass place, not Audi, right?

Default Cool, but does that include labor or that's just the part? Thx!

I guess one of my calls tomorrow will be to my local audi dealer.

Ya, had that in NY but texas is different. I think they only cover small cracks that can be fixed.

Default Not to make you feel even worse, but ...

Mass. has no deductible on glass, so when my wife's '03 Passat developed an expanding crack a few weeks ago, the glass guy pulled into our driveway and replaced the windshield in about 40 minutes and the bill came to $0.

OK, to make you feel less worse, we pay insane premiums [grin]. But that's due to insane Mass. drivers, not the glass replacement "deal."
