Had  a glass man install new windshield last night. I couldn't believe what a simple thing like a pc. of glass did to this old car.Looks like it just rolled off showroom floor.FWIW...$200.00 installed.Took the guy 20 minutes.

Your right. I had the windshield replaced when we did the body work. The frame was a mess, so it cost a whole lot more than $200. On my way home the very first night I took a stone that put a small chip in the new glass.Censored

I got three quotes over the phone,because non of my gearhead freinds new a glass guy. I paid $200.00 for glass(PPG brand) and the install. BTW, glass man said his buisness like most others has really fallen off because of the economy.
