Do you have premium package on your 3.8? The rain sensing wipers are equipped on 3.8 with premium packages, tech packages and R spec. Also, how bad is the chip? if it is not severe, I would repair the windshield rather than replacing it. The cost for the OEM windshield is crazy!

Due to sound absorbing material in windshield, the price is about $800+ even for without rain sensing wipers. Take it to a windshield repair shop and see if they can fix it without replacement. Some insurance companies pay for fixing chips/cracks.

Just had a chip repaired last week. Something flew out from a construction site and chipped it; not another car on the road at the time. USAA paid for it fully. Tech did it in my garage in about 30 minutes. I can't even see where it was unless the sun s just right, and then I have to know where to look to see it.

As stated get a pro to repair or replace it and let your insurance pay some or all of it.

I had my windshield replaced three years ago. Repair wasn't an option, since what started out as a small crack on the driver's side grew considerably. I ended up not getting the OEM replacement, since my insurance company wouldn't cover the entire cost. The one I got has been fine, though.

You would know if you had the rain sensor. you wiper switch will have an "auto" setting.
