any local companies in CT cut and install a windshield??
hey guys i've been calling around trying to find a windshield.. most places won't cut one, they'll only get one from toyota.. one place quoted me $750
middletown plate and glass quoted me $390 cut and installed for a piece of as1 glass
people in the tech section keep saying they have people come to them and cut and install a windshield for $150 or less - anyone know of one around here?
Heck if someone has a used windshield I'll buy that at this point

thought i'd update this while i was at it... for $150 Meriden Glass Company in Meriden CT cut and installed a windshield (measured from the frame) in under 2 hours - the guy was awesome to deal with. brought the frame to his shop - asked him to have it by the next afternoon and he called me a half an hour after i got home
