Manitoba Public Insurance Accredited Glass Service
When severe weather hits Manitoba, thousands of drivers are left dealing with shattered windshields, cracked side windows, and body panel dents.
If your vehicle suffered hail damage in Winnipeg, you might be asking yourself: "Do I have to wait months for a body shop appointment just to fix my broken glass?" or "Will I have to pay my Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) deductible twice if I fix my glass first?"
At Glass Lab Auto Glass, we get these calls daily. Here is everything you need to know about processing your MPI hail damage glass claim quickly, keeping your family safe, and getting back on the road without waiting on massive body shop backlogs.
No. You do not have to wait for your physical body damage claim or a paintless dent repair (PDR) estimate to be processed before replacing your shattered or cracked windshield.
During major hail events, Winnipeg body shops often face multi-month backlogs for body panel estimates and repairs. However, driving with compromised auto glass is a major safety hazard. A cracked windshield reduces the structural integrity of your vehicle and impairs driver visibility.
You can take your vehicle directly to an MPI-accredited glass shop like Glass Lab Auto Glass to handle the glass portion of your claim immediately—even if your body repair appointment is months away.
No, you only pay your MPI deductible once per hail event.
A common concern among Manitoba drivers is that filing a separate glass claim means paying two deductibles—one for the glass and another for the body shop.
Because both the body damage and the glass damage occurred during the same weather event, it is treated under a single hail claim.
How it works: When you bring your vehicle to Glass Lab Auto Glass to replace your broken windshield or side windows, you will pay your applicable Autopac deductible at our shop. When you eventually take your vehicle in for body repair, MPI cross-references the claim number—you will not be charged a second deductible for the same storm event.
Filing an MPI glass claim in Winnipeg is simpler than most drivers realize. As an MPI eGlassClaim accredited shop, Glass Lab Auto Glass handles the entire process directly for you on site.
