when i asked my dealership about it the service manager {head hancho} said it was roughly $850 for the oem windshield but there is an aftermarket one made by the same company and its the same exact windshield for roughly $400.

 

I just got my front windshield replaced becuase when I first turned on my windshield wipers, they scratched the glass. I've only had my car for 2 months.

 

Well I called my dealership and they quoted me $265, parts & labor. I didin't go into the detail of whether it's aftermarket glass or OE. Regardless, that's a good price, for any dealership.

BUT due to personal reasons, I've decided to bring my car to Just Glass; their price just a little lower than the Mitsu dealer quoted me.
And that's a shame; usually my way of thinking would tell me to go to the dealership if it's just a matter of a few dollars difference.

But I have so many negative experiences with my sales mgr and my dealership in general that I am so turned off by them and decided not to give this sale to them....

....blah, whatever, I'm just rambling now.....

 

I got a "star" on Monday...

 

I had a rock kicked up by a dump truck break the windshield in my car when it was only a month old.

The normal Lancer windshield fits the frame fine, but the rear-view mirror mount is EVO specific. The shop I went to (NOVUS) actually had the the base Lancer windshield installed, but could not install the stock EVO mirror. The shop had to order an OEM windshield specifically for the EVO from the dealer. Took about 10 days to get the parts.

The base Lancer windshield is about half the price (probably because it is not an OEM part) of the EVO unit.

actually they do make 2 different windshields for the Evo/Lancer... all Evo windshields are the same, but not every Lancer windshield is the same, due to the mirror bracket... so we have to figure out which one you have and order the correct one... we did a regular Lancer yesterday and thats another thing i noticed about the cars.. i don't know if it's a OZ vs ES difference though..

 

same as GVR-4. different mirror base. they didn't charge me my deductable and overnighted a base lancer mirror in.

 

since you're from nj, you might have heard of dubin glass.. that's where i got my windshield replaced and that's also where mitsubishi told me to go to. i don't remember exactly how i paid but it was less than $300. oh and yes thay have the same size as the regular lancer

 

so the lancer windshield wont fit the evo? im in the market for a new windshield so i want to know.

 

just make sure you tell them to look at your rear view mirror bracket...

 

ok great. thanks i hope it will work

 

i paid 200 bucks installed for a new window with a blue stripe for the sun i like it. its the same as the lancer its the same chassis just reinforced alot better

 

mine was $160 and they came to my apartment. They had the regular Lancer windshield as the replacement windshield. I was concerned about it being heavier than OEM but
1. I picked it up and felt no difference
2. If its heavier its thicker and will deflect those pesky rocks better, I'll reduce the whole 2 pounds somewhere else, I'll diet!
Safelite Auto glass..good experience with them

 

Safelite makes their own glass... it's aftermarket and is not approved by any car manufacturer... it was cheaper cause it is, not because you got a deal.... that is the simple and always blurred truth...
