Thank god for comprehensive coverage. Windshield replacement from the dealership, I was quoted $989 installed. They said it was $833 for the glass alone.

This seems outrageous to me. Is there any reason why the G35 coupe glass is so much?

Thankfully, my comprehensive deductible is $100. Phew!

 

I was quoted $800 for the OEM glass from a repair shop then another $100 for install and weather stripping. I laughed at them over the phone. I called another place and had a mobile van out the next day to put in a new windshield for only $400.

 

oem windshields generally cost between 300-500(bmw, mercedes, etc.,) from the stealership.

it's better to get an aftermarket windshield. they're a helluva lot cheaper. only difference is that they don't come with the manufacturers logo. big deal. woopdidoo

 

I just had mine replaced and it only cost me $259.00. I had to call around several different places with pricing ranging from $ 800.00 to $450.00 before I found this place in the phone book that did it for only $259.00 with new molding

 

im assuming glass is glass right? shouldnt be a huge difference in quality or if any at all?

 

I would think that the only thing to worry about would be that it is intalled properly

 

HaHa stealership... thats a good one

 

I thought so.... until one aftermarket windshield gave me such a headache by just looking thru it. just like wearing not-matching eyeglass. I had to replace it twice. They said when it is heatbend something can go wrong. I highly recommend you check before the installation with aftermarket windshield

 

it does make a big difference...... OEM is much better....

 

thats what I would think...dish out a BIT more and get OEM quality. you may end up with a windshield like the one in Mr. Magoo for those who know what im talking about

 

i'd always go for OEM for that kinda stuff regardless of the price.
unless you know someone.

 

Safelite or safelight.com (I don't recall the correct spelling). I have used them several times and the windshield is just as good as the OE.

 

I just had my windshield replaced and it was only $140. Installed it prefectly looks just like the original
