The only issue was I had to pay the dealer up front; I received a reimbursement for 100% from Chubb within a week. I wanted the dealer to do it all so there was one place to look if there were any problems. It was done perfectly and having to pay upfront was the only downside, with effects diminished by using a credit card that got me airline miles. I have used Safelite before without issues and for chip repairs they are stellar, so no shade being thrown on Safelite, just preferred one stop shopping with the HUD.
The coverage with Progressive is about $500 year. I'm currently rolling the dice.
