I was working on the front end and jacking up the driver side right behind the front wheel. Done this many times in the past using the edge of the tub to lift.
After the 2nd lift of the day I noticed a 2 inch crack in the windshield about 1/2 way up the A-pillar on the driver side. WTF? I don't remember seeing the crack when I moved the car initially but there it was plain as day. A couple of questions: 1) What sources of windshields exist? New? Used? Prices? 2) Could I have cracked the windshield by lifting the car by the tub right behind the front wheel? |

I too will be in need of a windshield for my car as mine has a quarter sized smash and I'm getting ready for a repaint. I found a net service www.glass.net that gives you three quotes within 10 seconds. So for me in Orlando for my 75 I received 3 prices for installed windshields: 245.12 , 260.12 , 339.67. I don't know what brand of glass or if these are legit I'm going to call the 3 places tomorrow.

[/quote UPDATE: Today I called the 3 companies that were provided by my search on www.glass.net, to say the least this was interesting. The first company who's quote online was $245.12 when I called them it was $615.00 I quickly hung up on them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The second company didn't offer a price as they said the windshield is no longer available (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The third company gave a price over the phone that was exactly the same as online ( $339.67 ) but they also said the windshield was no longer available (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . So my search for a windshield in Orlando continues. |
