Got a PGW (Solargreen Laminate) new windshield last month..$232. Be careful when installing as you will have to remove both a pillars..and also the little rubber tabs at the bottom of the pillars...so far the quality seems to be great.

Wonder how many clips get busted during this process. Also check the dash speakers for scratches.

And make sure your vin plate isnt cut off. This actually happened to a gen2 mazdaspeed 3 once. The cheese cutter cut through the vin plate.

No clips broken, just cleaned the car, no leaks, just can't back from a drive at high speeds, no whistling, interior...he cleaned it after he was done no scratches, nothing on the panels of the car, he did a perfect job

This is what I was just quoted:

A/M $324.55

OEM $989.30


I would HIGHLY recommend getting your front windshield replaced by someone who has AGSC training and certification. Most nationwide chains don't have it and the windshield is incorrectly installed.
