well I got my new glass(hurricane smashy smashy) installed for like $230. Was ppg safety glass sourced and installed by a local place called gator glass. They even came out to my place to install it( hard to drive with a busted windshield) for no additional charge.

I'd call a few of your local autobody glass places, and see what they can do.
(in my case , it would have taken them 3 months to get a new gasket, and for $80. So I bought it from brothers for $50 shipped and got it in a week. They said if I could get the part faster, the faster they could install the glass!)


Also, and possibly of more importance, the law in some states says that your Insurance must replace your windshield. At least in FL, it's that way, I don't know about the other 49!
Both my brother and some friends have had thier windshields replaced by Insurance, even with insurance with no collision. I had the truck off the road for 18 Months, and had cancelled insurance, but found out when I re-instated it, that my windshield would have been covered(again with no collision!)

food for thought
