I need to get the windshield replaced in my 91. I was quoted prices from $350.00 to almost $1000.00 I did find a place on the Internet, www.89glass.com. I was told they would come to my house and replace the glass with OEM PPG and replace the moulding for the $350.00. I'm waiting on the estimate from Corvettes of Houston on my AC repair before I schedule them to come out. Need to make sure I have enough money : )

I just had mine done 2 months ago.
$1100.
someone tossed a solid block of concrete through it (messed up the hood too)
that included new windshield, retainers, seals, everything
All paid for by the insurance company 100% with no cost to me. I love Florida

Yeah that really sucks. Somebody threw a brick threw my truck's windshield. Cost me $217 to replace that and its a bigger windshield than a vette's.
Anybody know how much it cost to fix little nicks in a windshield? Mine has been hit by rocks.

Paid 125 for windshield less than a year ago. Didn't need new seals or trim. Make sure and be looking over the dudes shoulder the whole time. That way if he f*^$s it up he pays for it. Its not that hard to get off correctly if you take your time (trim).

As far as crack repair, I think my insurance paid like $80 bucks to fix the chip on my wifes Chrysler. It doesnt fix the ding, just keeps it from spreading.

There are several good windshield threads in C4 Tech.
Everything you could possibly want to know: part numbers, prices,
how to DIY (and why this might not be a good idea), what to watch
out for at the installer's and why - plus a whole lot more.

got all new weatherstripping too which I badly needed.
Basically because of some vandals, I got a whole new everything, it leaks less, and its an updated glass that includes a tint strip at the top, my original one didn't have that.

everything looks correct. They did an AWESOME job too. I used Guardian Auto Glass (one of the few that my ins company worked with).
They were lauging too because my aftermarket shift **** threw them off since it was for an fbody (reverse was up)... one of the guys happened to have driven them before and was able to get it backed up hehe.
