I have a 2000 LC with the original windshield on it.
The windshield has a few small chips in it and hundreds of tiny ones that look like dust particles speckled all over it that's really visable when driving into the sun. I'd like to get it replaced.
My local dealership quotes a replacement for about $900, parts and labor. (makes me feel like puking)
If I remember correctly, C-Dan said he could get the glass for about $350, plus $100 or so shipping to California. But he said that shipping is a pain, and it may even crack during the shipping.
I found www.windshield.net that can install a replacement at my home for $256, or $165 for just the glass and molding.
My question is whether an OEM windshield is that much better than an after market windshield? I know the dealership asked if I wanted bronze glass or green glass, so I assume that the OEM glass is tinted for the LC.
Would anyone have any experience with any of the services that come to install an aftermarket windshield at your home, or the quality of glass?
Thanks
