If you can, go with the bronze. It gives a really nice tint to everything. Nicer than green IMO

Stick with the color of your side windows. Green on the sides and Bronze on the front will drive you crazy! Safelite may not be perfect the first time, but the good thing is they stand behind their work and will come back out and fix it. It's not much of a worry if they do it while you are parked at work. It took them 3x to do my windshield but they eventually got it right. I was going to use a local place but was worried they wouldn't come back out if it wasn't right the first time.
If the dealer doesn't figure out a fix for my wind noise soon, I might just drive over to Michigan! This is driving me bat poop crazy. They own their own glass company so that is what they are using. They tried to blow me off after the second "fix" until I politely told them I photographed the rivets that were not seated, the missing trim and the fact that I could only see 1/3 of the VIN. They tried again, and fixed those issues, but now the glass is wavy and still noisy. Dealer is trying to tell me it is a "high profile" vehicle and that will just make noise (really cuz my 94 did not). Now they want to install a deflector. Not excited about that option. It isn't fixing the issue. Grrrrr.It doesn't need all new trim pieces. Just a few and they are cheap. Your side mouldings are $400 so don't let anyone ruin them. I wish you could bring your cruiser to Michigan. I have a guy here who does a flawless job. You need to ask around on mud who the closest good glass tech is.

. . . Ask them about the rivets. . .

I have the same piece of trim popping up in the same place, but it currently isn't leaking.
Most dealers sub the windshield work as they don't have a full time glass guy. It just depends on finding the best installer, replacing all of the rivets and moldings that need to be.... And using OEM glass if possible. LX/LC is a perfect scenario to hack a windshield replacement. I'd call around to more than one Toyota, Lexus, or other high end dealers and see who they use... It's probably one of the better installers in town. The big operations have done some hackery I have seen first hand.
