On our 370Z cruise last weekend I got nailed by a rock travelling as fast as a 9mm round... (the handgun type for all of you Artillery Folks). Check out the pics under my profile and there is a picture of the windshield with the large crack in it Nissan 370Z Forum - PaulZ370's Album: 370Z Cruise Aug 20th to St Francisville. I have safelite coming to my house tomorrow to replace it, so I'll post back with the results (inc. Pics). But here is one thing everyone seems to be interested in: Price... Total including tax is $332.00.

I'll be watching the guy like a hawk tomorrow!!

UPDATE: Mission Accomplished. The windshield was replaced by Safelite. The Safelite Tech did a very professional job. Although, at the start, as he was dismantling my Z piece by piece, I was having difficulty breathing with every clip and body part he took off. I cannot believe how many body pieces need to be removed to get to the windshield. The job started at 10:30, and was completed at 12:45. All body part edges were taped - no clips were broken, no screws lost, no scratches or any other damage occurred during the installation. The final cost was $332.00 (total WITH Tax). I'll be posting the pictures soon and I'll update this post with the link. Two things to remember - 1. You have to be Brave! and 2. You should not drive your Z for at least an hour after the repair to give the rubber gasketing material time to set properly.

Ok, pics uploaded - here is the link: http://www.the370z.com/members/paulz...placement.html
