1. if you know the glass hop real good then you'd know what kind of urethane they use (Sika, Essex, etc) when they put the parts in and what type of moldings they use when the old ones cannot be saved
2. your windshield is a part of the structural integrity of your vehicle.. going with an aftermarket part such as a Safelite windshield (which is about as aftermarket as you can get) is not approved by any car manufacturer and can be dangerous if you get in an accident where the car rolls over..
3. dealers do NOT install windshields!!! they sub it out
im on my 3 window now in my evo damn rocks lost two of them with int a month. IT will cost about $250 for a OEM (PPG) window and install. Or u cna get teh cheap **** that is not as safe for like 150
Has it been determined his windshield must be replaced? If it's smaller than a quarter and can just be repaired, I think most insurance companies will actually WAVE the deductable and pay 100% to repair! Check it out.
