Where do you guys buy new windows?

Hey everybody my car desperately needs a new passenger side window. It has 3 or 4 long gouges that run from the top to the bottom and a pretty decent size chip on the top. So aside from it looking like crap with my new paint job I'm getting my windows tinted soon and don't want to waste money tinting a crappy window. So if you've had to buy new windows where did you get them? I've looked on Hawks, TGR, Classic Industries, etc. but I can't seem to find any. Junkyard I guess?

Thanks

I have similar issues with my drivers window. I called Safelite and they said they could replace it for around $250, installed. Sounds like a deal to me...

I find it amusing that somebody form Pittsburgh is having trouble finding somebody that sells glass.

That sounds like it would be the best option I'll have to give them a call.

I just did the online instant quote and it said $188.95. I'll probably just do that then. My rear windshield is also kinda scratched but not that bad so I quoted that just to see and it was $1068.95. Yikes.

I'm just messin' with ya.PPG(PGW) is OEM to many automobile companies and have been for years. It won't be cheap. Hit up a U-Pull it or facsimile thereof for a reduced price option.
