The roads in Louisiana are not noted for their pristine condition. As such, you're liable to pick up a rock chip occasionally. That's why we buy insurance. The van needed a new windshield, not that it bothered me, but that I'll need to get it inspected by the end of the month.
I made the appointment for last Friday, but of course they got the wrong windshield in. So, we reset for this afternoon. I showed up after lunch, they got started about 1:30 and I was out of there by 3:00. Not bad for a windshield job.
I remember, back in the day, when a windshield took about 4 hours, and most of that was letting the glue harden. Bifore that, we used rubber grommets to hold the windshield in. Those were lots of fun. For twenly years, I had a good friend who owned a glass shop, and I gave him all my business, but he retired about the same time I did. That adhesive he used would get on everything. He claimed that when he ordered it over the phone, he got some in his ear.

Ah yes, 'country roads'...
My SUV windshield just started a crack; I assume the current cold and ice didn't help.
Out here there is no local glass place, so scheduling gets difficult.
