Urgent Help! NYC
Sorry guys, I am posting here even though it is not directly SVX related.
I found a car I was looking for in NY and I want to buy it. The thing is it has a cracked windshield and I even found a replacement. I don't want to ship this replacement alone, and the dealer cannot change it for me. Any ideas? The car will be shipped by sea (not in a container though)... Can anyone provide assistance? Help? Ideas?

Re: Urgent Help! NYC
Since the dealer won't change it, find a place that can do it there might be an option. Maybe even change it yourself?
Good luck, Keith |

Re: Urgent Help! NYC
Will the dealer allow one of the mobile windshield repalcement services to do it? I've used a company named Safelite Auto Glass with good results. They also operate in NYC.

Re: Urgent Help! NYC
Thanks for our response Gene. Any idea how much they charge for an old car?

Re: Urgent Help! NYC
If you can look up auto glass in the NYC area you can call them.
As far as I know every glass shop will do, even prefers doing mobile installs these days. For what its worth Safelite is not the best or even in the top 100 they are a recommended insurance replacement company because they are cheap, they do crappy work some of the time. |

Mike621 used to be in the auto glass business in that area. If he doesn't see this, you might want to send him a PM.

Re: Urgent Help! NYC
When I got my svx it needed a front windshield and I used Safelite. They did a remarkable job and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. It was done in my driveway.
