It cost me $500 (comp. deductible, no glass coverage in my state).

I am picky as hell. Super picky. Absurdly.

They let me watch the entire job, and the guy doing the work did a flawless one.

-NOTHING was torn, cracked, broken, scratched, or lost.
-The pinch-weld was primed very well.
-The bead was a "V" bead as is OEM, and was "tied" where it was joined. It was very healthy looking and I find the concept of it leaking improbable.
-There is no squeaking or wind-noise at all.
-Everything went back together with no way of anyone being able to tell it was ever apart.

Aside from the receipt in my glove box, it never happened.

I cannot endorse Safelite, however. I CAN endorse the tech's who did my work (the manager, who has experience doing Ferrari circuit cars did 95% of it). To endorse an entire chain is ridiculous. However, if you are in the Shreveport/Bossier LA area, I CAN! endorse Joe Goodwin and HIS Safelite location as competent, polite, and understanding of OCD.


Oh...I also installed my Cosworth drop-ins. Just blowing through them with my mouth, they flowed a bit freer than my OEM filters. They also have less pleats...hrmmm...

Either way, just cranking, the car has a bit of "hiss" to it now.

Next up...re-tint down to the AS1 on the new windshield.
excellent.
