Sorry to hear that! Your car was pristine when I checked it out, but as soon as you get it to that point, its a matter of time until something must happen
When that happened to me, It was cheaper for me to buy a windshield and have someone install it, then to turn it into my insurance. PLUS if you do that, they put a "Incident" on your record, so if something else happens they will wold that against you in the next three years. - Had that happen before also, so anything the insurance company does not know the better..
True that! After I detailed it before Carlisle, I put it away in the garage next to the Commem. The Commemorative's roofline comes to the bottom of the driver's window. Commemorative's been lowered about 2.5", but STILL....
There's a coil-over suspension package tailored to the TB-SS that lowers the car/truck as much as 3.5" I've been considering...
For inspection purposes (I've read the code and had to convince an inspector), if its less then a quarter and not directly in the driver's vision area, they may let it pass. If its bigger and in the passenger side, they may let it slide.
I've had some success with the windshield kits, especially if you get to it early and clean it very well. It prevents further cracking and depending on how well the job is done, is relatively transparent. Its not perfect, and at <$15 bucks, worth the try and will hold until it makes sense to replace it.

I say drop it, that would very nice, its not like your going offroad with it anyway so it can't hurt. You need an exhaust as well, the twins will learn to love its drone...
Or just get a good one that has low interior resonance.
Aero's got a pretty good sound now, but I would like to modify and make it a dual exhaust. Why the heck Saab did a single has me baffled -- the TB SS has a dual...
have you thought about driving to another state that does windshild repairs on the drivers side? would only be useful if youre close to the border, or find a TB windshield. that would be a cheap/good way to go.
