There's a fighting chance that several of those posters were doing so tongue-in-cheek.

Nevertheless though...wouldn't expecting an insurance company to replace a windshield because of wear and tear (especially as the damage could have been prevented by the owner merely replacing the wiper blades) about the same thing as expecting an insurance company to pay for a new paint job because the owner parked it in the sun instead of under a shelter? Insurance companies are not responsible for the poor judgment of the owner.
