Default C7 Windshield Replacement

Anyone have knowledge of a glass shop near Massachusetts with C7 experience? The local Safelite guys have no idea and I don't want to be their training car.
Thanks,
Peter

Can't help with the glass shop but I can tell you this as I had my C7's windshield replaced at 1500 miles and watched while they did it. I was their first C7........

1st. Don't watch!
2nd. They had to remove the moulding the runs across the inside top of the windshield, the wipers, the visors and both the A pillar mouldings. Wires had to be unhooked as well as the rear view mirror had to be removed also.
3rd. They set one of their removal tools that had some type of black goo, on the passenger seat which necessitated the seat being taken out and a new cover installed by the dealership. On the plus side it doesn't leak, on the down side, the heads up display sometimes displays a double image depending on sunlight....
