Re: windshields
tried putting mine back in after painting inside and out, ended up cracking the glass and chipping my new paint, called a auto glass company and for 150.00 with me suppling the rubber they installed and guaranteed it. hope this helps I learned the hard way

 The best $150 you'll ever spend. I've used Safelite Glass in the past.They come to you. Only thing, if it's your new windshield, they won't guarantee it won't break going in. But, you can't beat a man at his own profession. If he can't get it in without breaking it, you wouldn't have either.

Re: windshields
Was that for a new windshield installed? or just the labor?

Re: windshields
I have done it twice now.. Not that big of a deal. Take your time. Rope it in and it helps if there are two of you. But if you want to be safe let soneone to it for you
