Got my new windshield installed today

Total cost $250 including tax. The custom molding they used looks stock. I'm very happy with the results and will post some pictures when it's light outside and when I'm able to take the tape off.

Re: Got my new windshield installed today

Was the $250.00 price for removing the moulding you had installed earlier and putting on new moulding, or the cost of everything, including glass?

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Re: Got my new windshield installed today

The $250 was mainly the cost of the glass. They were not able to reuse the old molding so they installed a new one. I don't think this added much to the cost. The windshield doesn't have any tint, which is a little disappointing.

Looks very good, much better than the other universal gasket one I saw.

Re: Got my new windshield installed today

How do you rate the fitment of the moulding? Any close up pictures please?
