I will putting my glass back in about 2 weeks from now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I read a thread about a guy in the OC, CA. area named Rufino from RJ Glass. He seemed to be the guy I want for the job. The thread was from 2008 if IIRC. Anyone know if he's still around? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I need the front and rear glass installed. The front will be with the Mikey914 rubber surround. If he's not around, any suggestions in the LA / Hollywood area for house calls? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Chrome. I have all the stock pieces and clips.

I am hoping I don't have to clip it in right away so I can polish it up a little better, but we will see.

Thanks Jim. It good to know he's familiar with our cars and the stock or alternative install styles. Everyone that used him seemed very happy with his work. I hope he can come up my way. I may have to pay him extra, but it'll be worth it for his experience.

Sure, I'll take his number just in case Rupino can't get this far North. Glad you're happy with the install!

Though he's yet to do mine, he had no issue with comming out to Santa Clarita from OC. Rufino sounds like a good guy over the phone.

i called Ruffino last year and he didn't want to come up to LA because gas was $3.50 a gallon; probably the same now.

He did refer a friend of his in the pasadena area who came out and did mine. He first came out and looked at the car then cams back a day later with a buddy and the two put the glass in. i used the rubber seal not the stock chrome but they could do either.

Forgot the guys name. i think it had Alpha in the name...Alpha plus or Alpha Zip Glass. Was $100 and looks great.

For sure call Ruffino first and do whatever he suggests!!

Thanks for all the info fellas. It's very appreciated. I pick up my freshly painted teener on Monday and after I redo the dash vinyl the glass goes in. I'm very excited. Haven't driven my car since April 3rd and I miss her.
