Safelite Windshield Replacement...
Ok so long story short, I got more than just fenders when I installed them. It was an accident, but I told my dad I would handle it and Safelite came out today and replaced my windshield (YAY! I'm legal again!)
But I wanted to put the price out there, I paid 265 bucks and some change. That was only becuase the guy installing the windshield did not replace the gasket/seal thingy, bcuase mine was still good. If he had used it I would be crying after paying 293 bucks. (Not that I am happy to fork over, over 260 bucks for a windshield, but at that price, I am glad my seal/gasket thingy was still good.)
Just wanted to post this to give anybody some ideas as to how much a windshield would cost to replace.

OUCHIES! The saddest part was that I lost my tint strip. :( 20 bucks down the drain! AWWW MAN! :(
How do they determine how much the glass and everything is? Is it the curveture of the glass or the availability or what?
Re: Safelite Windshield Replacement...
curvature is probably only a factor if you own a saab (can't remember the exact price of a replacement for my old 900, but it was a small fortune)...
Obviously availability would go into it (supply/demand)... biggest factor is probably thickness and install complexity (back to saab... thank god we found one at a junkyard and did it ourselves).

I had safelite do mine.... 2ce. $240 the first time $220 the 2nd. They came to my house the first time and my work the 2nd. I work near a gravel pit so the 16 mile of freeway tends to be a little rocky.
