Funny thing is, I went to Speedy autoglass and got a quote for $400 to get it replaced, with new weatherstrip pieces, a few months ago. I just don't have that money for a windshield right now.

Crap.

^Do you know anyone else with the same car you have? You grab a digital camera, take a pic of their windshield. Take your ticket to court, and show the judge your "fixed" windshield. Ticket gets dismissed, and you dont have to shell out money you dont have right now. I did it before... Goodluck with whatever you decide to do.

That might fly in Florida, but in Cali its not that simple...You need to take your car to a CHP office to have it checked out and signed off or any Police station but pay them 13 bucks to do it.

Oh damn, I didnt think about that... Florida is pretty cool about fix it tickets, they let you take a picture and show the judge. When I went the judge didnt even look at the pic, just asked me if I got it fixed, I said yes, he said dismissed lol. Well I guess you have to buy a new windshield then...
