Safelite quoted me $250 installed for a new one, but I ended up finding one local on craigslist for $50 and doing it myself.

Round here they're 40-50 in a junkyard or private and 70-80 new. I kicked myself the last time I bought a used one, should have spend another 20 and got one without rock chips! Being cheap ain't always easy : )

I'm not sure where in Houston you are, check out a place called low cost auto glass, here's there address and numbers. (713) 943-0609, (281) 484-0202, (713) 943-0600 address is 10002 Old Galveston Road Houston, TX 77034 I've taken my old car there, and i've taken a friends suv there, seemed like they had good prices.

That's where I'm going to get my rear window done, and they wanted to charge me I think like 180 with install.

I got quoted $265 for a new front windshield, new seal and locking strip.

Too bad you're not in L.A. I got my new windshield installed for $100.00 out the door.

Re: Front windshield
 

$100 installed is the going rate here also.
Thats for the "made in China/installed in little Mexico" windshield.
I have had mine since december and already has some staining or something that won't clean off.
Safelite also quoted me $250+
As with everything else, you get what ya pay for..

Re: Front windshield
 

I just got quoted $140 for new glass and $50 for a new seal w/lock strip.....oh..and installed for $300

Re: Front windshield
 

110 is the going rate here, some of these prices seem crazy high.

Make sure installer has installed an old windshield before.
I called insurance agent for recommendation; I felt good.
I didn't quibble about price.
67 windshield leaked like a sieve; my feet got wet and gauges went crazy.
I couldn't believe they reused the decades old gasket:(
They re-installed w/ a new gasket this time.
Still leaked like sieve. Note: it never leaked a drop before install.
Ended up fixing it my self and it was a pain.

Pilkington brand glass is the best thing going right now. as long as your old gasket is still somewhat soft it will work fine unless someone has ripped it removing or reinstalling the glass in the past .a good installer can and should seal it up for you. I would .....but I like my job too

What are the chances a shop who normally installs modern windshields can successfully do a 60's windshield?

The ones w/ stainless trim can be a bear for novice.

Maybe trucks are easier since no trim.

Dang....I paid $307 for my windshield/seal/installation. They did a very high quality job though.
