The cost to the car owner for replacing a windshield is a proportional cost/deductible of the total damage if the owner has windshield insurance. This cost is 20%-25% of the total cost and varies by insurance company. It is common for the cost to be in the range of 25,000-35,000 ISK.
Can a windshield be repaired?
Yes, it is possible to repair smaller damages in windshields. Each case must be evaluated individually. To achieve good results, it is important to repair the damage quickly after it occurs, before dirt and moisture settle in it. It can also be that the window is too badly damaged for a repair to be worth it.
