Replacement Windshields

Should be able to get it as far as I know. It's Japanese owned and fairly distortion free. My last glass was from Cascade, and it's pure crap. Oregon is tough on windshields in areas where they drop cinders on the ice in the winter. I'm on my third windshield and it already has a bullseye repair on it.

Thank you, I will definitely look into that..

 

OP: if you find yourself up near the Fort Collins/Loveland area there's a place called Anders Glass. They replaced the windshield in one of our cars and where most places were $400-$500+ this place stood out due their price. That price was $99 for the glass plus labor. The 2nd part varied based on if you wanted them to come do it on-site or you brought the vehicle in for a scheduled appointment or if you just dropped it off on a certain day for them to change as time permitted. We chose the latter option and it was like $36 for the labor aspect for a total of less than $140 for a new windshield installed. For that price, I don't care if it's OEM quality or not because in Colorado it will need to be replaced again eventually. The quality of the workmanship was top notch as we had no leaks (lots of automatic car washes) or wind noise in four seasons of Colorado weather. We had the car for almost two years and sold it and it was still as good of quality as it was the day it was installed. I see the car around town from time to time and see no cracks. That last part is anecdotal at best as they may have had a massive failure and replaced it after they bought it so take it for what it's worth. That being said I was QUITE happy with the value we received and would highly recommend them. I think it was 14 days guarantee no matter what (even if you take another rock) and another year on the labor.

I get no commission nor am I in any way affiliated with the outfit. I'm just a happy customer passing along my experience since it was also a very good deal and I was quite skeptical before we had them do the work as I thought you had to pay lots of money to get a good windshield. My truck has a crack in it now but it's out of the line of sight and I can't bring myself to replace it yet even though the replacement is so cheap. Same with our other car but both have tinted windshields so that's going to add to the replacement cost so until the cracks impair our vision we're just going to deal with it. I'm kind of excited for the day that one of the cracks grows across my line of sight so I can finally have the excuse I need to replace it with a nice clear new one and not have regret about doing so.

Even if you don't make it up this way keep shopping around because you're bound to find a place like this in the sea of high-priced options around you. Good luck!

 

This is what I'm told as well. I think the OEM windshield on my 2015 is Pilkington. The guy from Safelite told me they use Pilkington, but their windshield is cheaper than the OEM. When I asked why he said, "It's not as thick."

I've had a crack across the driver side on mine for 7+ months. Eventually I should replace it I guess. Got hit by two rocks two days in a row. First chip Safelite filled. The very next day I got hit in the absolute top driver corner. Couldn't fill it so it cracked.
