So I got my new windshield installed today. Mel's Auto Glass in Cincinnati did the work, and I'm VERY happy with the job.
True story, my installer was Steve Boehner (Speaker of the House, John Boehner's brother). Great guy, used all the parts from the AA Windshield kit I purchased, including the butyl strip. We were both pleased with how the non original windshield came out, and the channel cleaned up. No rust at all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) The glass went back in, we used the rubber setting blocks, replaced the trim clips with new, trim went back on perfectly... really a great job. $304 dollars + my AA install kit. I also purchased the Windshield to dash seal from Mikey914, and that went it without any issues as well. Pictures!: |

Mel's Auto Glass supplied the windshield. Not sure where they get them from. You can see the maker specific info in the last picture.
I had to call several local Windshield shops before I could find someone to take the job, but these guys came thru at a reasonable price. The guy did a great job getting the old windshield out, without any damage to the interior. The Windshield has a tinted stripe on the top, which is not original. |
