I recommend you check your yellow pages for a service that installs the new one at your house. I had one done for around $250. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

Ouch...
I don't carry collision on the 924 but maintain comprehensive (its very cheap) for this reason (also keep towing coverage). My windshield was replaced for free right in my driveway.
Good luck.... _________________ -Stu

Its because you live in arizona man. Unneccesary broken windshields are so common. My buddy part owns Pheonician glass. I'd try and get you a deal, but he's a douche bag and I won't be back to the valley until april. Good luck finding a good one. Post where ever it is, because I can forsee a broken one in my future. Since its practically inevitable there. _________________ 81 924 turbo |

Safelite was great when they did mine. The guy came out to my house to do it. He cracked the first windshield but came back the next day and installed another one. I want to say it was like 250.00
