Default Any windshield shop suggestions?

Damn you 880!!!

Something hit my front windshield yesterday and left a softball size crack.

Does anyone know a good OEM windshield dealer? I want to make sure they know how to install the rear view mirror so it doesn't fall off.

How much is this going to set me back?

Thanks!

Don't go to Kuttek. They used non-OE rubber trim that is not very good. They don't use OE glass anyway, although the glass itself seems okay.

Expect to pay big bucks for real OE glass.

PPG is who make the OEM glass. It's easy finding the PPG glass, but not one that is branded HONDA PPG, which all Hondas use.

I have to replace mine now too since on my way to FnC I got a dime size rock ship.

I want to find a place that will use the OEM rubber seal - if anyone has good experience with a place, please let us know.

Also, should insurance cover this cost-free if it is in your line of vision (full coverage)?

Thanks Rey, I better call them up then. I remember that one place called Carillos uses PPG & they have a 2 year warranty. They replace my windshield on my HB back in the day.
