toyta approved reimbursment fo cracked windshield

I wonder if that would include a windshield being bricked with a 3 inch gaush in the hood, the early morning hours after the day Brixit passed in the UK.
Should I hold my breath?
The house front storm doors plexy was also shattered ( shook the house a bit ) I think by the same brick that did in the windshield. because I never found what did the windshield, hood damage, but the brick was in the mess between the storm and old wooden front door. 3 cops were all politely scratching their heads too.

 

I wonder if the inevitable rise in insurance premium qualifies as an out-of-pocket expense. Thinking not.

 

So they will cover a crack caused by a pebble but not a rock? Do they expect us to go find the offending object on the side of the road to prove what caused it?

 

That's a very good question.

Wikipedia says (Pebble - Wikipedia): "A pebble is a clast of rock with a particle size of 4–64 mm (0.16–2.52 in) based on the Udden-Wentworth scale of sedimentology. Pebbles are generally considered larger than granules (2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) in diameter) and smaller than cobbles (64–256 mm (2.5–10.1 in) in diameter)."

Britannica says the same (Pebble | geology | Britannica): "...pebbles (4–64 mm [0.16–2.52 inches] in diameter), through cobbles (64–256 mm [2.52–10.08 inches])..."

I have a little star crack that's less than a half inch across, so I think I could make a good case that the offending projectile was less than 2.5 inches in diameter, given the minimal damage. I've been meaning to get it filled, but it's never changed in size over several years. Maybe I should do it and submit my bill.

I gather the claim is that Toyota shipped windshields that were less resistant to this type of damage than some standard, not that they spontaneously cracked from body flexing or thermal stress or something.
