My son replaced his 944 windshield for $275, I can't imagine the 986 would be much more if at all.

$100 (comprehensive deductible on my State Farm insurance). I doubt you will get one replaced professionally for $275. I think $500-700 is more like it (not OEM glass).

I have observed the price of doing this job to vary widely by zip code. The cheapest I have heard of using the OEM Sekurit glass is $300 at Safelite. Some quotes in the bigger metropolitan cities have been in the $600 area.

When you have this done, make absolutely sure that your dashboard is covered during the installation. Bring a thick towel and put in on the dash before you even hand over the keys. A professional installer should know to do this but many are cocky or lazy.
It is very easy to cut the dash during this procedure. Inspect the dash very carefully afterward and consider taking pictures before hand.
