So my window is done. The LR-logoed Pilkington OEM glass ($1100 USD) was unavailable North America wide according to the local LR dealer. So I went with the OEE (Original equipment equivalent) grade Pilkington without the LR logo on it. Also swapped down to the one without the heating element since I always hated those things. Both the one they pulled out (which was not original) and the one they put in had a slight issue in fitting and lining up the VIN window - not sure of the cause and not going to stress about it. At the end of the day, the mobile installers were thorough and explained everything as they went. Took about 90 min start to finish.
Glass: $195
Labor: $150
Total: $345 (all covered by my insurance through AAA).
My take-aways: LR-logoed Pilkington glass is priced like gold-covered ****. Seems pretty outrageous. I can't believe for a second that it's 5x better quality.
I haven't tried the rain sensors yet which is a thing that apparently some windows cause to malfunction or not work correctly but I was never in love with the sensing anyway.
So my chapter is happily closed. Hope that this thread helps others.
