Windshield installer on East coast?

[LXneewb]

Can anyone recommend a 100 series windshield installer in the NY/NJ/PA/DE/MD area?

I'm nowhere near you, but I'd recommend calling a dealer or 2 and asking who the call for windshield installations. I did that, and it turns out the installer lives ~2 miles from me. He replaced 2 in our 2000 LX and one in my '13 Land Cruiser. He came with the correct tools and did a great job. Zero leaks and no wind noise.

Thanks @hankinid. I called Sheehy lexus in Annapolis and they said they send their customers to Safelite
And so....safelite website is quoting $350 for an OEE windshield and $1000 for An OEM windshield.
I know the quality of the install is completely dependent on the tech I get that day. Since my current windshield is not the Original I am tempted to go with $350-installed.

Unless anyone can recommend an Indy installer they have used on the East coast?

You're welcome,

Be praying you won't get a new guy on his first job. The FSM requires some rubber molding replacement, and among other things keeping the rear ends down on the moldings on both sides takes patience and perhaps some duct tape. The installer should come with replacement side moldings that are pushed in place after the ws is in place. He should also have Toyota nylon coated rivets and a rivet tool to set them in place.

Good luck. It's the first time I've seen Satellite called by a dealer for WS replacement.

Had them install a new windshield in my 07. The lead installer has experience with 100 series and built a special end for his rivet gun to handle the oem rivets. Was about $300 for non-oem glass

Just spoke to Mike and he knows his stuff. Quoted me $350. Its a 3.5 hour drive but totally worth it!

Outside of Philly and need a windshield as well. Has anyone used this place? Chantilly for me is a hike.

I live in Annapolis and had my new windshield installed in May 2020 at a small shop in town. They did a great job. No leaks or wind noise for $235. check out superiorwindshieldrepair.com or call at 410-263-1155.
