Topic: PPG glass or OEM equiv??? HELP!!

[Redeyejedi]

getting quotes on a windshield replacement, and i previously replaced with PPG glass that came stock but that one is pitted from a sandstorm.
so..  ...safelite or ppg glass? why?

thanks

got a quote:
173.95+tax for safelite glass and 199+tax for PPG glass.

Either is fine. They both meet DOT standards. If I were you I'd get insurance to pay for it. Why give them thousands of dollars a year and get nothing in return from them but a piece of paper with a few numbers printed on it?

Don't know about you, but I would go with who ever is the cheapest.

look in your yellow pages. in salt lake city i found a company that put a stock windshield (meets safety) in my 4runner for 120 bucks.

right, i definitly hear yall. i am not sure my insurance will pay, liability only, plus i have two different cars that need new glass, and i struck a deal for $350 for both, at my house, PPG glass. i dont think thats a bad deal, but then again, i dont know everything hence why i ask yalls.
thanks again

liability only wont cover glass.  Since coming out of pocket go with cheapest and is good quality

some insurance companies offer windshield protection insurance, something like you pay a premium, but get x amounts of windshields per year, etc....

Pick Your Part pulls old glass out of junkers all the time, they are really good at it and I believe they install it too.

i got a quote....
235 for just the glass.
not including tax or new rubber.

so 170....... DEAL

I got a windshield for my truck from Pick-N-Pull for $11 and bought a $15 seal and some sealant for $5. Pretty cheap, it's relatively easy to pull out the glass from the junkyard as well as put it in... Just my

Just so u guys know, most of these replacement services WILL price match each other...I thought I got a really great deal when I had mine done...


I dont trust myself to put in my own windshield...Ive seen too many leak (that were done by owners), firewalls rusted out, wind noise, etc..

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. The Pick Your Part in San Pedro has a glass service on the lot.

If you are worried about leakage then slather the hell out of it with window sealant and cut the excess off with a razor. A friend of mine worked for an auto glass place and I've seen plenty done, it's not that hard.  I mean 200 bucks or less than 50?

anyone hear of crinamex glass?

I managed to get OEM in mine a year ago for $300 out the door, installed(all new rubber and parts, too).  Optically and tint-wise, the OEM is far better.  But, yeah - not a whole lot(I'm picky and it also has a 3 year warranty).
