So the shop that I got some tinting done from accidentally cut into the glass on the rear hatch. Spoke with them already. The question is, should I get the windshield replaced or repaired? The cut can be seen and felt. Its pretty deep, on the outer edge of the glass. Insurance deductible is high for the shop and for myself, so any suggestions other than going through insurance would be great.

Take it to a glass repair shop I am sure they would have options.

Seem weird that you can cut glass with a razor blade. I bought my 16 edge used and it has scratches on one side window so deep I can feel them. Makes me wonder how that happened. So far it's just ugly. Mechanically it's fine.

I was surprised aswell, either the rear glass has a different composition than the front or the blade that was used was harder than the glass. Luckily in your case the side windows should be laminated and won't break as easily.

Simple, if someone else is paying, replace. If you're paying, repair.
