Is filing an auto glass claim worth the risk of being dropped?

scoredskip

Post

The rear window on my 2013 Toyota Highlander exploded yesterday (I believe the wiper base seized and the accumulated stress caused it to shatter). No huge deal - I called and arranged to have it replaced in a nearby town an hour or so later. The total bill came to a bit over $700 for the glass replacement (not including the wiper pivot unit which I can replace myself). I still carry full comprehensive coverage, including glass with a $100 deductible. I'm debating whether to submit the claim to my auto carrier. I filed a $6500 comp claim three years ago when one of the local squirrels decided chewing up my wiring harness was a good idea. Carrier (State Farm) paid the claim with no delays. If I file a claim to recover the max allowable for the glass replacement, would a second claim possibly lead to my policy being non-renewed next year? I could absorb the replacement cost myself with no trouble. I have no other claims or moving violations in the past six years. Car is still in good shape, and I'd like to hold onto it for another year. I'll be retiring about then, and my wife and I plan to sell/pass on the Highlander at that time.

Summary

The post is about an auto glass insurance claim for a car, not a homeowner window replacement issue.

Reasoning

This is clearly about a vehicle rear window and insurance coverage, with no indication of a home window problem, replacement comparison, or homeowner intent.
