Hi,

He said that safeLite did a search and basically, I think they kissed him off, because they’re a wham-bam thank you-mam company!
It’s about volume and rolling up insurance claims for their business!
You see the commercials as an on-sight, appointment based, mobile service for the most part!
I see nothing related to body work being shown in their stores?

I can only think of brand name glass makers or the ones I have seen as replacements for 240 glass.

PPG SOLEX is the first that comes to mind and I have seen another one that was FY as I remember.
The “ticket” is a STOCK number PPG FW 667 or FY’s FW 00667 are on two of my latest 240 models.
The two look identical so I have no idea how branding figures into all this!

If the poster can locate dealers of those it will give out more options of installation and price listings!

Years ago I price replacements windshields from a PNP in Windsor Ca. that had an installer on site.

I got prices of $110 each but probably without a rubber seal as I didn’t remember to ask about those.

All I can say is too shop around “caustically” for an installer as most do lousy work because they will not fix rust spots properly, if you have any. The pinch welds are subject to corrosion.
I have one used car that was done wrong and it hasn’t taken many years for things to go farther south!
Just because they put goop over a compromised rim of paint, that it won’t rust later!
It pushes up the goop and you have squishy ripples under the seal material!

If the poster finds a good solution and I hope that person shares the knowledge, as we all need, all we can get with this maintenance issue.

Phil
