Jane asked:


Even when there is plenty of rain on the windshield, it squeaks loudly! It is driving me crazy!
I forgot to mention that it didn’t start until I put on some new high quality blades.

I was at a park having a softball practice, when I hit a foul ball that broke a cars windshield which was parked right next to the softball field. They are trying to tell me I have to pay for their deductable for the new windshield ($250) and then an additional 150 for a new tint of the winshield. Do I need to be paying for it or are they responsible because they parked next to a field I was practicing at?
It was at a elementary school, and its not marked parking….the parking is in a dirt field
It was the back windshield which was tinted…..I already paid the deductable out of guilt but now they are pounding me for the tint money….
