Shern, deductible on my auto policy is $500. Junkman, that seems like a great deal! Not sure how many of those guys are knowing around anymore, if they are I don't know any!

I had a front glass replaced by Safelite and the installer knew what he was doing. My friend who retired from bodywork had long term relationships with glass installers. The two places that I know that do restorations and even basic repaints have access to glass installers who know what they're doing.


You just have to meet the actual glass people. Anyone that starts the conversation with "I'm not responsible if it breaks" isn't your guy.


The one that did the recent install had absolutely no worries about breaking or leaks or getting the glass installed. He did say that OE seals are preferred but not a deal breaker for him. I think it's more of a longevity issue.


He said he'd reuse the read seal on the TD so I shouldn't buy one or damage what's there by cutting it out. Just leave it alone and He'd handle it. He's even willing to come to my house - same difference to him as going to a car lot or shop.
