    If your Accord is made in North Americam, it most likely has PPG
    manufactured glass that also says Honda on it. PPG is also a common brand of
    glass used in the replacement mnarket.

    I'd check your policy to see about an animal collision deductible. It
    is frequently much less than your normal deductible. it is in my
    state ($50) by law.

    There's no reason they can't show you their supplier invoice,
    inlcuding the price. The adjuster and the repairman are not really
    buddies, but they know they have to work well together, and it looks
    like they are from the outside looking in. Their unified purpose is
    to keep you relatively happy and get done with you with minimum effort
    and money invested.

    OEM refurbs are not as good as OEM new, strictly speaking. The OEM
    factory primer is frequently better than a refurb has. Keeps your
    paint from falling off 2 or 3 years down the road.

    The price difference between the two is minimal, maybe $60-75 in the
    U.S. from my experience. Pay it if necessary, assuming you're
    keeping the car a few years. And, I wouldn't even touch an
    aftermarket POS.

    Some policies will require you to accept aftermarket parts, check
    yours. It is the cost of getting that great premium.
