Any recs for proper/knowledgeable 100 series windshield replacement in Kansas City area? Closer to Lenexa the better but happy to travel for the right shop.

I saved this for when I think about replacing my windshield. Double check them though, usually it's one guy with the knowledge and when they leave their experience goes.

These guys refused to do my 80 because they insisted they know more than Toyota. (and I'm picky about the install and following instructions.

So, I did mine a little different.
1. I purchased the rivets, dams, small trim pieces, and spacers from Toyota. (Super cheap)
2. I removed my 2 major trim pieces so I could reuse, and they would not be damaged. I drilled out the rivets so the installer would not accidentally over size the holes.
3. I printed off the page of the FSM to give to the Safelite person so they could properly install the dams and spacers.
4. I had Safelite come and simply install the windshield.
5. I reinstalled all the trim using. No leaks and they did a fine job.

I live in Olathe.

Talked to Kruger today. Odessey (?) is the manager at the OP location; I played a little dumb and she was able to describe the process and also noted her appreciated for LC owners and the vehicles themselves. Definitely boosted my confidence in going there.

She did recommend bringing new trim pieces as in some cases old ones can get damaged and it’s generally easier for the techs to work with new ones.

Will be scheduling with them asap.
