You might be able to get it repaired depending on how long it is. Safelite.com

Can you really tell the difference btwn OEM glass and Aftermarket? I think I just don't pay attention enough to really tell when I got my windshield replaced on my old Accord...but then again when that happened, I had already purchased the G and didn't really care about the Accord anymore.

You can't really tell the difference except for the etched logo and words in the corner, which is hard to tell anyway. At least, that is my experience with my PPG aftermarket glass.

Well, drove the G to Dallas from Memphis and went from 490 miles to over 1600. On the way back a rock chipped the top left of the windshield and made a crack about a foot long.
I called the dealership and they quoted me $752 for an OEM replacement.
Would you guys recommend I go with the OEM replacement or an aftermarket? I hate the thought of replacing it with a non-factory glass, but cost may decide that.
Any suggestions?

Insurance will cover it with my $1000 deductible hence why I am paying cash. I do not have free windshield replacement come to find out. This is the first cracked windshield I have had in 12 years of driving.
If you guys don't mind, how much did you pay for your PPG/any other non-OEM window?

I only pay about $50 a year for a $100 comp deductible. This is not a collision claim and does not impact your rates. You should talk to your insurance company.
