Windshield replacement cost

350 labor... do yourself

 

Cost me $330 including labor

Doing it yourself it would cost $380 from NPD (that includes shipping)

Shop around and see if you can get a better deal

(I should note this was before covid and I suspect shipping costs is what is making this job more expensive right now)

 

Because you are in California lol, I personally would pay the $$...guaranteed not to leak and they can set the glass at the proper depth. I'm looking for someone who will install supplied glass, but places wont.

 

Too bad your not in Florida. I have one front from a 78 and two rear from the same.

 

ya, $300 labor is not worth it, plenty of people install glass, I'm sure you can find something cheaper (it being California doesn't matter if you already have the glass)

 

Cracked my new windshield with wiper arm .

I Called my insurance company .
I have free glass coverage for all my vehicles . Didn’t cost me a dime .
I’m in MA and that’s pretty common
Around here . Most insurance companies have free glass coverage .

 

You do have to consider it’s going to be more expensive for what these companies consider “classic cars”. They need a technician who knows how to remove the trim, set the glass in the proper height and install a window they likely don’t carry in stock. $300-$350 for a modern car windshield replacement is average. Glass, materials and labor does add up the cost. It does take longer than 30min to do the job. Cutting the old only out, prep, clean set etc.... I bet these companies are charging you $200 for the glass too.
