My windshield is badly cracked and I'm curious if there is any reason not to use one of the windshield services in the area. I believe this will be covered by my insurance.

Whoever you use, I recommend asking them to use butyl tape to keep the install tidy, without excessive goop oozing from the edges.
My local glass person charges $230 for a 914 windshield (aftermarket), installed. I understand you can get the OEM glass from Porsche for ~$350 still, shipping from Germany included - I'd go this route if your insurance is paying. Don't forget the 19 clips for the w/s mouldings. I always get 20, just in case, but have never needed the spare. But I just know that if I buy exactly 19, I'll need that extra. |
