my 3 year old windshield with 5 chips finally cracked... but interestingly enough it wasn't from those 5 chips. anywho, anyone know of someone or someplace that does a good job and has good deals? i prefer OEM spec glass, unless you guys can tell me other wise.

(i did search, didn't find anything, maybe i'm just a bad searcher)

 

I'd say a terrible searcher. If you enter 'windshield replacement' in search you'll get many pages of results.

Personally, I used Safelite. They can come to you, or you can visit their office. It was $340ish including tax, labour, and a new gasket seal (at $70). You can reuse your existing gasket, but this isn't recommended because it can leak.

There are a bunch of cheaper places, but you'd need to browse through the threads to find them.

 

Ahhh drop the windshield...I use an integral helmet and the car is much lighter. Sucks when it rains thou.

 

Capitol Subaru! best price i got ANYWHERE! and of course...they rock on service.

 

This is up in SF, but for future reference...

I got mine at Save On Glass in SF - $260 for my '02 - PPG glass, no tint, no third visor with non-OEM gasket.. you'll need to call first to special order, but they're great there, cheap, and fast. It was installed well - the tint matches. I'm picky and I'm happy with the install.

 

what's PPG glass? please excuse my ignorance.

 

PPG is a brand of glass. Good strong stuff, better than OEM.

Industrial blvd & Chabot (Hayward), got mine there for $150 installed. Not OEM but did the job.
