damn, thank god for Florida. Free replacement by law.

 

switch to statefarm - i have free glass replacement

 

lol if he is getting it free anyway... why switch?

 

By any chance did you notice whether the windshield changed the amount of engine/road noise in the cabin? Cruising at high speeds in the GSR with the RPMs at 4K for hours gets old really fast. Wondering if regular Lancer glass made any difference over the thinner EVO glass?

 

Didn't notice any difference at all.

 

i never knew about that one. if im not mistaken windshield on evo x comes with UV protection.

 

This is why you always get glass coverage, knock on would I still have no cracks but quite a few chips. 16K miles almost always on interstates will do that, LOL.

Geico's glass coverage has always been very good to me.

 

had mine replaced with an OEM windshield and it was around $600 isntalled. you could get an aftermarket ones, they are less than $500 installed

 

trees are made of wood

 

^^^^ same what he said, my insurance covered mine for free. and I had a bird hit my windshield and the crack was over 2 feet long. Crazy how it happened.

 

No they aren't they are made of would! LOL

That was a truly awful typo wasn't it? I won't even edit the thing so that everyone can know my shame.

 

I went through this recently on my Honda, and did a lot of research. The important thing to note is that Mitsubishi Motors does not make glass. They contract the glass work out, in this case to AGC. In industry terms, going to any shop to get AGC glass installed would be considered OEM glass. "Dealer glass" is the term used for glass purchased from the dealer. It is identical to OEM glass, save for a little Mitsubishi logo screened next to the AGC logo. This is an important distinction because moving from OEM glass to Dealer glass incurs a large expense, for no additional benefit other than the logo.

It's probably not a big issue in this case because I doubt many places carry the AGC brand anyway (I hadn't heard of it before, but it appears to have a longstanding relationship with Mitsubishi), but many manufacturers use big brand-name glass. I bought my Civic's PPG frame from a PPG dealer and saved 50% over the dealer glass and it's identical save the logo.

Aftermarket glass is the term used for places like Safelite that use their own windshields manufactured to their specifications. These will not be identical to the windshield they replace like the OEM and Dealer options would, but may work OK depending on the application.

Just something to keep in mind

 

+1 to that

 

Mine was replaced one week ago and it was $387.40 for OEM

 

^with labor? thats cheap
