Unless they've recently changed it to add glass to comprehensive, in CA at least I only get the glass coverage if I have MBI. Free chip repairs at Safelite and $50 deductible on windshields but only if done at their preferred shop (again Safelite).

If you want to take it to the dealer or your own shop they tell you that they will only pay "local market rate" for the windshield replacement, and the dealer is usually way above that rate.
