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?

That's what I was wondering too Capt. I thought 150 was high. Just to drive out to my house and work for less than an hour and I supply everything. But, like I said, I think it's 150 well spent.

That was a new windshield and rubber and replace the rubber on the rear window
setandreel's post made me think he only supplied the rubber.

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
