State law can change what you spend on a Ford Five Hundred windshield replacement in 2026, which is why “What’s my deductible?” is only part of the answer. In a limited number of states, the deductible is waived for windshield damage when you have comprehensive coverage. Florida is the clearest example: under Florida Statute § 627.7288, the deductible does not apply to windshield damage, so many drivers with comprehensive coverage pay $0 out of pocket for glass. South Carolina is another: S.C. Code § 38-77-280(B), as referenced by the South Carolina Department of Insurance, waives the deductible for auto glass when comprehensive coverage is in force. If you don’t live in a waiver state, your policy terms usually control the outcome. Comprehensive coverage often applies to non-collision windshield damage, but your stated deductible may apply to replacement. Many insurers sell an optional glass endorsement or “full glass” coverage that sets a lower glass deductible (sometimes $0), but it must be in place before the damage happens. Some policies also list a separate glass deductible that is lower than the standard comprehensive deductible. To avoid surprises, ask your carrier: Does my state waive the windshield deductible? Do I have full glass coverage or a separate glass deductible? Can I choose my own shop for my Ford Five Hundred? Bang AutoGlass can coordinate with your insurer when comprehensive coverage applies, schedule mobile service (often next-day), and back the work with a lifetime workmanship warranty. Most installs take 30–45 minutes, followed by at least one hour of safe drive-away time.
