You can get it replaced at SafeLite or any other auto glass installer. You might have to wait a day at most.
Thank You :grino:
I just had mine replaced by Safelite a few weeks ago. It cost me around 230.00 as it was not an insureance claim.
they just quote me 295.95 .no Insurance Claim
Ask whether that's the price with or without the blue tint at the top. I believe it's more without it. :confused:
Also helps that Buffy is likely in a lower cost of living area.
yea in my are safelite quoted me around 320 w/ the tinted stripe (no option for without it)... all depends where you live.. when I had my roof re-done, they had to pull the windshield and said if it broke in the process, it would be 250 to replace it (and no additional charge since they had to remove/reinstall it to paint the roof anyway
They just send email to confirm : the service date March 22
Price : 295.95*(includes labor,before tax and 9.95 disposal fee)
or if windshelid need molding and accessories ??? additional cost 20.95
Make sure that the shop that puts the new windshild in doesn't use any metal tools during the install. Others here on the board have had issues with rust and water leakage after the shop installing the windshield used metal tools. The tools end up scraping the paint and zinc coating off of the metal then water gets in and starts the nasty rust process.
When I had my windshield replaced I made sure that the shop I went to used plastic and/or vinyl tools.
very good point, i spent $900+ getting rust caused by a poor windshield install fixedQuote:

Thank You
Although I have not had the windshield replaced in the VX I have in other cars and subsequently experienced water leakage:mad:Quote:

Another good reason to get glass fixed quick is that insurers will often completely waive your glass deductible if you bring it in before the impact point spreads beyond the size of a $.50 piece.
Or if you don't have windshield coverage & you get a rock chip, most auto parts stores sell a repair kit for about $10. The kits are VERY easy to use.
Basically it's just an ultra clear, UV cured epoxy with special tool to pull a vacuum & allow the epoxy to flow down into the crack.
It only takes about 30 minutes to complete (& most of that time is just sitting around waiting on the epoxy to flow or cure so you can be doing other stuff).
I've got 4 repaired chips in the windshield of my Eclipse. I did 3 of the repairs & had one professionally done for about $50. All 4 have held up for 3+ years. IMHO, the repairs I did look as good or better compared to the professional job.
I am having problems finding a windshield also. The part # is 8972077101. Please let me know if you have any luck.Quote:

I got a quote from SafeLite. $425.85 out the door. That seemed really steep since they had a much better price when I needed it replaced on the Eclipse (& beat competitor's price). This time they said that the price was firm.
ASAP Auto Glass quoted me $246 out the door. That was mo betta & the guy did an excellent job. He even added extra goop on the install since I told him I was paranoid about it leaking. Attached is a copy of the receipt in case anyone needs the part #. He was able to get the glass in w/in 24 hours. I'll never go anywhere else (even though they are a bit of a drive for me).
I like this old thread, especially in light of the Merlin new parts shortage reported earlier tonite.Quote:
