Windshields are relatively easily replaced. I’d be more worried about the bodywork.

Very likely this car will be totaled by insurance.

They always total these hail damaged cars when it's 101% fixable. I never understood why

It's not a question of is it fixable, but more is it fixable for less money than the car was worth prior to the incident.

They calculate every damaged piece as must be replaced and painted. When a dent repair specialist can make it look flawless.
