Front windshield Replacement

Bad Boy · 03-21-2015, 02:06 AM

I was at the dealership about a month ago and I decided to ask the parts department about a new OEM windshield, they quoted me at $890... Plus labor.
My windshield looks a little sand blasted, Idk how, but it doesnt bother me much...

So dropped mine off at the glass place this morning. Guy wasn't sure exactly how to do it, so he called the Nissan Dealer. Dealer told him that you have to replace the entire A+ pillar??? Which has to be painted??? Does this sound right? They've already ordered the parts.

Nope, that's total ********. My windshield was replaced with no parts needed.

No need to replace the A pillar cover. You just have to remove the A pillar cover. But you have to remove the B pillar cover first to get to a screw behind the B pillar cover.

So they just brought it back. Said the dealership told them that 99% of the time they break the clips and the A+ pillar has to be replaced. That makes zero sense to me. I mean, they're talking about new pillars & all, having to get them painted, etc.

It's a local shop, and I literally have the only 370Z in town, so I know they've never done one.

Going to call my insurance agent.
