    Call your local glass shop. They can get it for you.

    $105 is CHEAP! I went to a glass shop and inquired about a Pinto windshield - $260. ACK!

    Actually $105 is extremely cheap. The $265 one is a little more realistic. I'm not saying you can't get it done for that but I buy windshields for my body shop every week and I would say the average price for me to get one installed in most cars is about $200...my cost, then I mark it up 25%.

    Windshield

    I have this man install several windshields a month and he comes to my shop, does the installation and they ALWAYS run between $100-$125 installed complete, end of conversation. I pay him CIF and away he goes.

    Y'all got to realize this is TEXAS.

    And that just shows what kind of markup there is in windshields because you know he's still making a few bucks. :)

    $100-$125?? That's a steal!! Are they brand new?? Mine was $300 (maybe more)
    I guess everything isn't bigger in Texas...

    I called the local glass shops around here the best I could find was $250 just for the windsheild. Installation and seal was extra.
