Driving down the interstate yesterday, something came from somewhere and smacked dead center in my line of sight breaking the outer surface of the windshield.....it was a good thing I went to the bathroom before leaving work, it was quite a shock. It started out about the size of a dime but is already beginning to expand in multiple crack fashion. I called my insurance company and got a no deductable replacement OK to get it changed out. The glass shop ordered new frame clips but said they use the old original frame. Last year, I had to use Liquid Nails to keep the lower drivers side down to the body of the glass edge and the rubber part started curling about 5 years ago. My question is, is it routine to resue the old frame or should they also be replacing it along with the new clips. Somewhere I thought I read/heard that the clips and frame were to be installed as one?

Thanks in advance.
