PermaPlate's Windshield Protection specifically covers the repair or replacement of the windshield for chips and cracks, not all types of broken windows or general glass damage throughout the vehicle.
Understanding PermaPlate's Windshield Protection Coverage
PermaPlate's dedicated Windshield Protection plan focuses on specific types of damage to your vehicle's front glass. It is designed to address minor yet common issues that can occur during daily driving.
What is Covered?
The coverage precisely targets damage to the windshield that typically results from road hazards:
- Repair or replacement of the windshield: This is the primary focus of the protection plan.
- Chips or cracks: Coverage is specifically for these types of damages, not extensive shattering or large breaks.
- Cause of damage: The damage must be caused by small rocks, stones, or other road debris.
- Glass quality: Replacements are made with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or like-kind and quality glass, ensuring your vehicle's integrity is maintained.
This protection is distinct from comprehensive auto insurance, which might cover a wider range of damages to all vehicle windows due to various incidents like accidents, vandalism, or natural disasters.
Coverage Summary
To clarify the scope of PermaPlate's Windshield Protection:
| Feature | Coverage Detail |
|---|---|
| Glass Covered | Windshield only |
| Damage Type | Chips or cracks |
| Cause | Small rocks, stones, or other road debris |
| Repair/Replace | Yes, repair or full replacement |
| Glass Quality | Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or like-kind and quality |
What is Not Covered by PermaPlate Windshield Protection?
Based on the nature of PermaPlate's Windshield Protection, it is important to note what falls outside its scope:
- Side windows or rear windows: This specific protection plan does not extend to the glass on the sides or rear of your vehicle.
- Full breakage or shattering: While chips and cracks are covered, a completely shattered windshield or other windows, which often result from accidents, vandalism, or severe impacts, are generally not included under this specific plan.
- Damage from other causes: Damage not attributed to small rocks, stones, or road debris (e.g., collision, theft attempts, hail) typically falls under your standard auto insurance policy.
Therefore, if you have a "broken window" that is not your windshield, or if your windshield is completely shattered rather than chipped or cracked, PermaPlate's Windshield Protection would likely not cover the repair or replacement.
