07 FJ Windshield Replacement

[CaliChaos]

note: you CAN do the windshield without replacing the molding.

I got mine done that way. $300 bucks installed in Houston (Feb 2009).
Just have to have an installer who understands how the molding holds on, a bit of time and patience. A heat gun might work well to soften the plastic clips.

just my .02 worth.

Sure beats the $1200 I was quoted by Toyota early 2008.

yeah mine is toast too. I have to pay the deductible ($500)

Check your policy for special windshield coverage. Even though I have a $1k deductable, my windshield coverage is only a $100 deductable. I just replaced my Tundra glass, and I didn't realize I had this coverage until recently (been driving with a crack for a few years). I have a small star on my FJC, but it is upper right and out of sight. I'm waiting, and hopefully the price will be closer to my Tundra ($175 total). Thx everyone for the info.

Each state and insurance company is different. If you don't have special coverage, ask for an add on windshield policy rider. That may be a cheaper way to replace the glass.
