Hey all, I did a quick search on forum titles and didn't see much so thought I'd post. If I missed any long threads on this, feel free to refer me over to them.
I have a split that has developed from the roof straight down through the windshield on the passenger side that's about 1/3 of the way towards the hood of the truck - so probably about 8"-10" long. Seems more like a windshield replacement than a get-it-patched type situation.
I have the heated windshield with the squiggly lines in it that make my vision crazy at night but live in California so I don't really see the point in keeping the heated windshield.
I've received estimates from a few shops here in town that range from $260 all the way to about $500 all-in (parts & labor) depending on if I go unheated or heated glass elements. I'm assuming but have not confirmed that every one of those quotes is using aftermarket glass since one did come back with a note saying that the OEM windshield is $1275 just for the glass!
Does this all sound correct? Any of you replaced your windshields? Did you go with the expensive OEM or use aftermarket? Anybody give up their heated windshield and just replace it with one without?
Apparently both versions have the rain sensor bracket on them so that should not be impacted either way.
Thanks in advance for any help from the tribe here.
