i'll disagree with you on those 2 points....


1. if you know the glass hop real good then you'd know what kind of urethane they use (Sika, Essex, etc) when they put the parts in and what type of moldings they use when the old ones cannot be saved

2. your windshield is a part of the structural integrity of your vehicle.. going with an aftermarket part such as a Safelite windshield (which is about as aftermarket as you can get) is not approved by any car manufacturer and can be dangerous if you get in an accident where the car rolls over..

3. dealers do NOT install windshields!!! they sub it out

Has it been determined his windshield must be replaced? If it's smaller than a quarter and can just be repaired, I think most insurance companies will actually WAVE the deductable and pay 100% to repair! Check it out.

OK for the record... I've found a place that sells factory windshields nationwide for a fraction of the dealer price . I got a quote from them i can get mines for 265$ INSTALLED!

just go to www.windshield.net

I'll be getting my cracked up windshield replaced (DAMMM THIS WINtER!!) in about a week or so.. i'll tell you about the quality when its done!
