Matt Whelan · 02-14-04, 09:14 AM

Part price?

Install price?

Thanks.

There are 2 different type of windshields, a gold tinted one, and one with a blue tinted strip at the top. If you want a non-OEM windshield, which in my opinion is just as good as the OEM, you're looking at $200-250 installed, basically $100-150 for the windshield, $100 for the install. For an OEM windshield, you're looking at $400-5500 installed, $250 for the windshield, $200-250 for the install.

Most of the big windshield shops have good experienced guys that know what they're doing and are very good at it. Call around and check for the best price.

For future reference, the gold tinted windshield typically costs more money.

Did you crack yours?

If you have a friend at a dealer, have him make some phone calls, I got my 89 sedan windshield replaced while I worked at a dealer a few years back for $95 installed.

Does your insurance cover windshields? I got mine replaced free from State Farm when my rearview mirror fell off and took a chunk out of the windshielf

If it's cracked it should be covered under your insurance. Find a shop that will "work with you" on the deductible. I have a $100 deductible, and found a shop that would waive it. Free windshield to me

I just called to get a price on my windshield last week. Without involving insurance at all, it was $155 installed and they will come to you to put it in!!

I just put a new OEM in my legend and it cost $155.00 installed. If your paying over $160 your getting ripped off for something that cost nothing.

Insurance will cover the cost too. and it should not count againts your deductable

$155 installed is not OEM. Call the dealer and see how much just the windshield itself is.

It doesn't matter whether it's OEM or not, because I believe the aftermarket windshields are just as good, if not better than OEM.
