the past few years I have picked up several chips in my windshield . I have had them all tended to & repaired . today I noticed one close to the lower corner that has cracked to the edge . it may not be too long till I need a replacement . my question , are NEW ones still available at a reasonable price ? thanks in advance ...

 

Yes, most glass shops still have replacements, shouldn't be more than $200
Many people have mentioned that the trim strip provided by the shops doesn't really fit, so save the original or get one somewhere else.

 

In AZ we have glass insurance, 4 free windshields (or other glass items) a year. Gonna get all my windows replaced for free.

Probably should contact your insurance and see if they provide it. Shouldnt be to terribly expensive.

 

I had a new one installed last spring for a little less than $200.00,they even came to the house for the installation.It took all but a half hour to do.

PS,and the trim fit also.

 

well it's good to know that they are still out there . #1 on my to do list after engine swap . thanks for reply .......

 

Make sure you look the glass over carefully. The vast majority have a little tag that says "Made in China". It's not easy to get American made glass anymore. There are a lot of complaints about the quality of the Chinese glass that Safelite and JN Phillips provide.
