i got the lancer windshield put in for $200 installed. It still has the "3rd visor" and also has the blue tint on the top.. I drive on the highway 100+ miles every day and there is not one pit or chip in this one yet... I like it 100++++ times better.

my story goes like this. My windshield cracked and called a local glass company. told them my car 03 evo. So they brought a oem one, when they pulled out my stock one, i realized they were the exact same. So I'm like cool. The bad thing is my stock rear mirror did not fit. the brackets are not the same i guess. so my assumption was it was a lancer's. So two weeks no rear mirror and two days ago my my windshield cracked again. I'm pissed, i got bad luck or something, it was from a rock. Oh well... Time to get a new one i guess

I had mine replaced back in July 03, courtesy of a rock.
The glass is different, but the normal lancer glass does fit. I drove around for 3 days until the glass shop got the correct piece in.
The only difference as far as they could tell was the rear-view mirror clip.
one was a ball type, one was a clip type. Can't remember which is which, but the por guy who had to replace mine 2x sure does.
They had to get the correct glass so the rear-view mirror would fit back on

i paid 200 or 250 bucks for my LANCER windshield. Ive had no rear view mirror problems of any kind. For those who wound up paying 500 bucks for windshields, i feel sorry for.

i had the same problem with the rearview mirror, the install guy noticed it and removed the clip and installed my original clip with some heavy duty 2-part adhesive. so far 1000 miles and a few hot days and no problems.

The real problem is that the quarry trucks (or whatever) are no longer responsible for a rock that comes off the back of their truck and and gets propelled into winshields 
I contacted the company that was responsible for my winshield - they took all of my information with vigor and said thanks; have a nice day 
Some years ago, you could contact the trucking company and have them pay for it
I'd love to see a cop pull-over a makeshift sandblaster (quarry truck) instead of one of us punks for having a wing on our car

Well here is the deal I found out today. If you have an 03 evo and order the correct part number windshield for an evo (ie without the tint strip) then it comes with the mirror bracket that is incorrect. But if you get an 04 Evo windshield then it will have the correct mirror bracket. At least that is what I was told. Anyway, the correct bracket is a little metal one, and the incorrect one is a plastic one with a spring inside it. For some reason they changed it.
Again....the incorrect one is classified as an 02-03 windshield.....and the correct one is an 04 up
