windshield crack
looking for a place that would do windshield repair. i want to see how much it would cost or if i need a new windshield.
i have a crack from the bottom corner drivers side that goes in a diagonal line up ( maybe 16 inches )

a repair is limited to drilling a hole at the edge of the crack to keep it from spreading. you will still see the crack unfortunately. basically look at replacing the glass.
cheapest route to go is find your own windshield from a junk yard then take it to someone. New its going to cost you around 250 installed. With a crack that large i think repair is out of the question but i could be wrong.

if you can cover the crack/damage up with a dollar bill its repairable
if its bigger/longer than that you have to get it replaced.
craplite, excuse me, safelite glass will cost you $250 as was previously said.

Safelite quoted me $298 for my 04' WRX without the winter package (you know, those heated wipers, lol.)
No-hookup price.
Unfortunately, that weekend they were booked for at least a week ahead, so I went somewhere else.

Julio, try and hit up elway(Aeros). He had his windshield repalced for almost 350 bucks and they come to your house and do it.

ended up going to ace auto today. cost was just a bit over 300 for a replacement. i was surprised to see a lingerie coffee lunch wagon about 2 blocks down. i think i will have to return to that area for an inspection.
thanks for the help people.
