I some how managed to have a big crack in my windshield. which fails....Ive been calling all over the place and every single shop but on keeps telling me the 05 lancer has the same windshield as my 05 evolution....any one care to shed some light on this....Mistu dealer says they are diff part number but thier not 100% on the size difference. The price quotes I have gotten are ranged from 180 to 700$ I need some help asap!!! Crack is like a stretched out S about 7inches long.

 

I thought the Evo windsheld was thinner than the regular Lancer but both are interchangeable....so correct me if I wrong.

 

If your right then its gonna be sooo cheap for me to get changed. I guess down side to that will be extra weight huh?

 

Part number for evo and lancer windshield

evo windshield number MR991637

Early model Lancer glass MR533951
Late model Lancer glass Mr991638

 

i really doubt its differnt, hell, get an 03 winshield, i bet its cheaper since stealerships dont know the differnce, they just know the year

 

lol yea I just drove my other car to the "stealership" and the 03 windshield is like 200$ 05 has some black dots where the rear view mirror is and it costs 680$. w/out the the intall kit. Pretty lame how mitsu works some times.

 

Evo windshield is 3lbs lighter, and you probably will have to buy it through a dealer. $$$$

I just replaced mine with a regular lancer windshield. If you call LOCAL shops you should be able to get a price under $200 installed.

 

Thanks binarysleep!!!!! thats the answer I was looking for...just called and set up an appointment to have them come out to my house 180$ installed and a life time rock chip repair garuntee

 

I have also have my windshield replaced with a regular Lancer windshield in the past. They are less expensive and just a little bit heavier. I would definitely suggest going with the Lancer windshield for those reasons and also because they are thicker which means better protection against possible future cracks.

By the way, who did you go through to have your windshield replaced? I just happened to get another rock chip last week.

 

well I have progressive for insurance but thier Aholes so im not going to claim this one becuase my insurance will skyrocket, thats how they work...but the company is Signature Autoglass owners name is Mark Howe really nice dude he can def hook you up or at least find someone near you. Pm me if you want his number. He lives in houston texas btw

 

mine has a huge crack in it but i'm not gonna get it fixed for another 3 yrs after i leave alaska, it's horrible hear after snow thaws freaking rocks everywhere. they don't lay salt down for snow they lay dirt.

for a evo XI is it the new or late model lancer windshield that will fit?

Early model Lancer glass MR533951
Late model Lancer glass Mr991638

 

i just put in a claim to insurance for a 7 inch crack in the windshield.

Ill loose 3 pounds myself to make up the diff of a sturdier windshield
