Windshield replacement
Who do you guys recommend? What is the average price for this repair. Is safelite autoglass ok for windshield replacement? Or would I be better off going somewhere else?
Got a crack in mine after the really cold winter we had this year. I just thought I would ask before paying too much or going to the wrong place and having em screw it up. Thanks.

Re: Windshield replacement
We sell used windshields for $500 installed. Shipping could pose a problem though
Edit: I have worked for Safelite and they have good and bad techs. Make sure you are very specific with your requests to them.

Re: Windshield replacement
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Has anyone got one thru Dayle? So I may be best to find a windshield and have it delivered/installed locally. I met up with another couple here in sheboygan that has a 94 white lsi and they had the exact same thing happen to then this winter! Crazy! Anyway they said it cost them $1600 to have it repaired here locally! I'll be sure to resarch my options! Any further advice is appreciated.

Re: Windshield replacement
Will insurance be paying for it? I just replaced mine and had to order it through Subaru to get the moulding that goes around the windshield. The aftermarket windshields don't come with one. I also had a bronze one in the car and it was hard to find another one to replace it. I've heard that you can reuse the moulding but you have to be careful when removing it.

It is possible to re-use the moulding, we have our glass installer do it sometimes when we have a glass w/o the moulding or with one that has been chewed up. I tried to get one off myself... lawls You need to be very careful in removing it TOm |
