i would say driver side about near or where the mirror should go, to me its not really noticable. I can see if ups will do ground alot cheaper freight is 100+ ground is 20.00 u can see it on the top picture.

whats zip on both so i can check

That's mighty nice of you 53, even if he has to pay freight, if he was to buy a new he would still have to pay freight with that size of an item and weight.

U all are going to ship a 40 year old windsheild by UPS, Fed x!
This is a first. What is insurance on it? I would think a local windsheild installed would be cheaper!

business address to 27851, thanks for checking!

I actually do have a rock chip in my line of sight, so it qualifies for total replacement. I just called Safelite and my insurance is through All State. I have full coverage, glass coverage, and only a $100 deductible, which Safelite is paying.

They come out tomorrow to install the new window. I told them to make sure they bring a new inner gasket, as well as the outer piece in chrome. They said it was all included. They even asked me if I wanted chrome or not. It has that already, so I'm sticking with it.

So, do I need to kindly give the installers some tips on what to do? What would I suggest?

That is very nice. You are going to love a nice new clean windshield Mr-B.

That is a good question since most glass in cars and truck now is just stuck in with sealer and there is no gasket. I have put them in before on the old Chevy's before with two people.
You might want to help them get the wiper arms off but the rest should go smooth.

Thanks. Looking forward to it. I've got that little tool to remove the arms, so maybe I'll put it to use again

I've read here that it's best for them to start at the top. All I know is that when the guy came to do mine, he started at the bottom and everything was cool until he had about an inch to go on the top and he cracked it. Before he started, he said he was familiar with these, so who am I to say. That was on a Friday, when I'm home, and he came back (with a helper, according to my wife) on Monday and they got it done. But I wasn't there to see it happen.

After it was all done, I got a small tube of 'windshield sealant' which was just black silicone and put a fine bead around the edges. I think it helps. It still leaks some, but nothing even close to what it did before.
