Windshield replacement
Looking to replace the windshield on my 2004 coupe, with HUD.
1. Do I HAVE to use the special "HUD windshield" glass or can I use the regular glass,
2. Anyone know the approximate costs for doing this for each way (using "HUD windshield" or regular glass) ? I hear the "HUD windshield" is much more expensive.
Thanks

yes you need HUD windshield
Yes you will need new rubber gasket that goes around windshield, DO NOT replace glass without it.
If you have insurance with glass use it, mine was 1900.00 installed at glass company.

There have been a number of forum members here that have a HUD on their car and replaced their windshield with a non-HUD one. It worked fine for them. Your decision - if insurance is paying for it, you might want to go with the HUD version.

NO you do not have to replace with a HUD windshield. YES you need to replace the weather stripping. Forget going to a Chevy dealer, all they do is sub it out to a local glass company. Find the nearest SafeLite dealer and give them a call. My local guy furnished and installed a Z06 thin HUD windshield for $395 plus tax last year. He had it in stock for several years and wanted to move it out. Shop around, good prices are available.
