Any Good Windshield Installers in the Sacramento Area??

Kind of a shot in the dark here, but finally got my 72 Cheyenne back from being painted and the painters glass guy does not want to put the windshield back in with the stainless molding. Frustrating to say the least. Any suggestions? Don't think I want to try to tackle it myself since I've never done it before and the molding definitely presents a challenge.

Up here everybody goes to Breaker Glass. I haven't gone to them, but I ask everybody that does anything to my truck and they all say for the classics to go to Breaker.

Auto Glass guy that doesn't want to put in a window with Trim because of new paint?
Good thing you found out before he started.
After watching my glass guy do it a couple times, I do My own now.

I got a new windshield in my 69 I tried my damnedest to explain to the dolt how to deal with the trim he got mad told me he is the expert here
I caught the dolt just as he was about to butcher and cut apart my trim because he installed the windshield first with out the stainless trim
I would avoid your paint guys glass guy is probably hits Walmart standards
A little soap and a rope and a extra set of hands or two they go in quite easy
