Or if the vehicle in front of you doesn't throw a stone that cracks your windshield. I've had two windshield replacements over the years.

But, I drove a friend's older car the other day that didn't have an LCD and backup camera and missed the camera display, a definite improvement.

After 50 years in auto work and dealers sub work to me. All dealers US and Mexico rip offs any way they can. Avoid them at any cost new cars with all there hype. More recalls now then ever

I’ve done “Latest and Greatest” since before transistors replaced vacuum tubes (electron valves in Canada) Usually Latest was better sometimes not, but always with new holes to step into. That said finding and fixing the holes earned me a good living. So very few complaints!

For a US car in Baja contact a US independent glass source and order it.
The US glass supplier can deal with a US VIN.
Have it shipped to your location and installed by a local glass guy.
If your car has radar and camera that looks thru the windshield you will have a warning light because the calibration equipment to re-align the thing is usually not available in Mexico.
Of course you can always drive to the US and get a replacement.

They still let you drive? I suppose you need all the digital assistance you can get. ;)

I have a license from a Red state! My eyes are still good enough to shoot ground squirrels at a couple hundred feet!
