Is there any benefit to getting it replaced by the dealer with factory glass? Has anyone had any problems with aftermarket glass? I havent gotten a quote from Infiniti dealer yet but im sure its gonna be way more.
Its for an 07 g35x 4 door. Any info would be a big help. Thanks!
How did you break your windsheild? Mine broke at 1,200 miles while sitting in my garage - I woke up and there it was! ('08 G35xS). It was fixed under warranty and the dealer wasn't at all surprised by this - which lead me to think that this may be a common problem. It was a stress fracture. The crack started about eye-level at the passenger's A-pillar and crept about 2 feet horizontally over the next few days. The dealer took care of everything under warranty.

Thanks for the info everyone, got it replaced aftermarket $240. Looks great.

wmole- actually the windshield break was my own fault. I unfortunatley lost my temper and punched the rear view mirror. The mirror is fine but the point at which it attaches to the windsheild spider cracked into about a 1 foot circle. Needless to say it was pretty dumb, we should all learn from this. Don't play with matches!
