windshield replacement cost?

windshield replacement cost?

does anyone remember or know how much a new windshield costs to replace with labor and how long it took?

ttt

without insurance i just had mine replaced for 180 by safelite and they installed it in 45 min

You might want to ask DOT as well. He had it replaced on his 8th gen at the time.

how long did it take for you till you can drive it?

150 over here.

Yeah, it was about 150. I don't know how long it took them because my car was at the shop at that time and I just told them to replace the windshield. But it shouldn't take them more than an hour and you should be able to drive it after they install it.

took them 45 min to replace it and they told me to wait 45 min to an hour to let it cure and set up, but it was kind of contradictory because he told me to drive it home and let it cure there so im guessing the extra hour is just a precaution

Oh, my bad. I didn't know they had to cure.

yeah i was reading online and it should take a few hours depending on the type of urethane they use

for those that have them replaced, did any of you experience leaks?

Nope, no leaks at all.

no leaks with me either

FREEE

i get free windshields with my policy =]

i just re-read my policy and i have full glass..but someone said it will go up if i do a glass claim?

glass claims havent raised my rates......

i had to replace it like 3 times in the past 2 years...same rate.

Ooo nice. I think I'll look into that.

how my insurance agent put it....

"the windshield is a safety feature so we wont raise your rates for making us pay for it...if it will cause you to have less accidents"

gay but it works...i have state farm btw

I need to see if I can do that with my insurance company too. My windshield is all f***ed up.

make sure you have full glass in your comprehensive if you even have comprehensive since its optional

Actually, when I decide to do it, I would pay in cash and bypass insurance altogether. It's just easier.

It was easier than I thought (dealing with my insurance company).
Here's what I did:
1. Call insurance to fil glass claim.
2. After filing the claim, they recommend you some auto glass professional locations near you (that they are affiliated with, of course), but you can opt for your own location that you think is most convenient for you which is what I did.
3. So if you decide to find your own place, you look for a place to get it done at and get the name of the place and phone number.
4. Call back insurance and tell them the claim # so they know what you're talking about and tell them you found a place - they ask for the name of the place and phone #.
5. They call that place and give them a work order and tells em your name and what kind of car you have.
6. You can contact the place within a reasonable amount of time and make appointment or just go there.
7. Get it repaired/replaced then they bill the insurance directly.

And you're done. Just make sure the place you want accepts insurance billing and of course warranty for the windshield. I haven't completed all the steps yet, I'm still up to step 6. I just have to go there this Monday and get it done. Took off work already and going to Central Park with the gf after that
