Windshield replacement

[Tool Pants]

I have had 3 windshields. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10360

What brand glass is the $475 quote for?

I had mine replaced. I called my dealer and they recommended a shop (the one that does their replacements at the dealership). It was FREE. Most insurance has a glass policy that is not impacted by the deductible.

Jeff, I have no idea as of yet as to the brand of glass... I was checking online this afternoon after I discovered it. I'll report back. Interesting thread over on PPBB... thanks for directing me to that.

DrBurton: I will call my insurance company, but if I am not mistaken I raised my $50 glass policy to $500 a number of years ago to save about $75 a year on insurance. I might regret doing that!

I was banned from peetie's board 6 years ago. The link is to renntech.org.

Windshield #2 might still be in the dumpster if you want it....

I have watched several 996/986 windshield replacements over the years. Nothing special - just a glued in windshield like other cars. When I'm ready for #4 I might do it myself. So, do not let them jack up the price because is it a Porsche.

Hi,

Only in MN - the State's individual Insurance Regulations determine whether it is a deductible or not...
